Gitso looks perfect, cheers! I don't want access any time -- I could get blamed for things, then!

Hi -- I already remotely administrate a PC for my Mum & one for my Dad, and both are Windows machines. So LogMeIn.com is perfect for those. However, I am setting up an Ubuntu machine for my brother that will also require remote administration, and was wondering about the best way to set that up. Unfortunately, LogMeIn.com only works for Mac and Windows. Could anyone offer any advice? Cheers, Doug.

I have used gitso (http://code.google.com/p/gitso/) with a reasonable amount of success, for connecting linux and windows machines in all configurations (i.e. L->L, L->W, W->L and W->W).
I say reasonable amount of success purely because I don't use it very often, but everytime I've needed it it works.
It does require instigating by an end user (i.e. they ask for help) which is different to having full access as and when you want it, but if you are just supporting your brother, it could be ideal.
If you do want access anytime, then +1 to the ssh option mentioned later in the thread to where I have replied from.
