If by some miracle, you are unaware of a piece of software named VNC, you will want to read this article from the NewsForge.
Need to integrate your Windows and Linux machines over a network? One tool that may help is VNC, a frame-buffer-based client/server application that lets you display desktops on remote networked machines, and which runs on all kinds of platforms, including Linux, Unix, Macs, Windows, and mainframes.
Most Linux distributions include some form of VNC. If you need to download, there are several versions to choose from, including RealVNC, TightVNC, and KDE's Desktop Sharing, the VNC desktop server and client built into KDE.
VNC runs on all types of hardware, including laptops. I'm currently running SUSE Linux 8.2 on my puny 300MHz Pentium II no-name Taiwanese clone laptop. The VNC server that I used was SUSE's 3.3.3r2-463 version, which came bundled on the CDs.
