Remote Administrator from famatech.com is very lightweight.  It defaults
connections to 100 'refreshes' per second.  Put that at 10, and you'll
be amazed at how versatile it is.  It'll actually hook into your display
drivers.  Very quick, very light weight (have run it on old PII's, that
were cranking out other stuff, and they didn't flinch when I would
remote in).

While Remote Desktop is fine, one of it's quirks is that by default,
remote desktop will give you a different 'session' on a machine.  Now, I
think that's different for a strictly client machine, but on a server,
you will get a new session.  And, it is VERY sluggish trying to move
data back and forth, and you can overwrite your local clipboard without
realizing it.  Remote Admin is better at this.  You can open a
completely separate 'file transfer' session, which is faster then Remote
Desktop's 'shared' drives.  You can also manually set or get the remote
clipboard, which IMO is more appropriate.

Also, another MAJOR advantage is that you can 'link' sessions.  For
example, I have a 'server' at home, that has a port open through my
firewall to hit with Remote Admin.  I can use THAT remote admin server
to hit any machine on my local network (so the remote admin server
application will act as it's own router).  Otherwise, I would have to
have every machine on my network open to the world that way.

Though Remote Desktop is free (Remote Admin isn't very expensive....).

I use remote desktop at home between computers.  MUCH faster than
anything non-native and the 
interface IS the desktop at the other end.
