UltraVNC is Win32 based so you won't be able to run it on Linux systems. It also supports NT authentication so you can restrict which groups can log into your pc. That is Only members of the administrator group or "domain" groups. Once you go the NT auth method you must use the UltraVNC viewer to connect against the pc. As far as release version? there is no "pro" that I know of but the most stable release that works well accross all NT flavors through win2003 is RC18.
