Currently I have VNC running on my Windows desktop with Samba providing access to my Linux server. Since Linux is more reliable than Windows, I would like to be able to access my Linux (Centos 5.5) via my Windows notebook - hopefully via VNC or some similar application and then access the Windows desktop (if it is not locked up :-) ) with Samba.
What is the best VNC like application to install or use on the Linux server?

WOW! A few choices. in checking the ssh configuration file, I am setup using password authentication - not the best choice. If I change that to NO, is it easy to change my ssh client? One client I use is SSH Tectia.
Clients normally try key-based authentication first if they have the private side of the identity key.
Of course, this will require a change in FreeNX.
The NX client uses passwordless key authentication to connect as the nx user first, then uses that encrypted channel to do password-based authentication as the actual user. So you at least have to permit passwords over the loopback (127.0.0.x) interface.
