Also, it gives them that warm fuzzy feeling when they see the code. I did a review of <a href="http://maximillianx.blogspot.com/2007/05/easy-remote-control-through-firewall.html" rel="nofollow">Crossloop</a> and <a href="http://maximillianx.blogspot.com/2007/01/easy-remote-control-from-anywhere.html" rel="nofollow">Logmein</a> on my blog, and they both have their niche. However, to echo Mackenzie, neither one supports Linux. If they did, my remote control suite would be complete!

Looks sweat and easy to use. I just get the feeling, that it doesn't seem to be all to "professional". I use Teamviewer instead. Provides even more features like presentation, multiple monitors, side switchting and so on. Best thing, its free for private use! Give it a try, you'll love it! <a href="http://www.teamviewer.com" rel="nofollow">www.teamviewer.com</a> I dont know about Crossloop. Looks sweat and easy to use.

That is what makes it great. It connects OUT to their central server, and you connect OUT to the central server. It makes the appropriate connections so that you can navigate the hell that is NAT, and everyone is happy. No port forwarding, no confusion. Give it a try, and you'll see how much easier it is.
