For server speed under Windows, you can't beat UltraVNC. The CPU
overhead is minimal, and the speed incredible.

However, all of the advanced features require a UltraVNC client, and who
uses a Windows desktop anymore?

For Windows boxen we manage, we use UltraVNC.
For Linux clients, we use TightVNC.

Has anyone stumbled upon something better than TightVNC for Linux to use
as a client? (Tridia is a buggy fork, and I really haven't looked for
another VNC client for a while).
