If only there existed a viable Remote Desktop alternative for Linux.

I use Remote Desktop to log into my home PC when I'm at work or away. No need to have a powerful laptop and no need to worry about laptop getting stolen.

Tried all the Linux alternatives (latest round was last year). Yes there are functional remote desktop solutions, where functional means it actually works. But they're not really usable on a day-to-day basis and none of them are anywhere near the RDP experience.

I see some developments on the horizon which make me a bit hopeful though.

What about TeamViewer.
Performance is passable, though again not as great as RDP. Though I really don't like the idea of having my private machine open to a corporation.
