Open Source Remote Assist-type apps for Linux
I am looking for any remote assistance applications that have the source code available. Hence this being in the Linux area, as I doubt there is an open-source one available for Windows.
If possible I am looking for one that uses HTTP to transfer data between client/server. This isn't a necessity though, although if someone knows a place where I can read about how this would be done, that would be good.
Thanks in advance.

Either.
But as above, the source code must be available, hence this being in the Linux area, as I doubt there is an open-source one available for Windows.
So Linux or Windows is fine, providing I can get the source code to it.

Perfect, thanks.
Windoze ExPee has a built in remote assistance feature. From what I gather, you need to have a Microsoft Passport signon for both ends and the one being helped has to invite the helper. Other than that, the helper can do pretty much anything on that computer.
As far as Linux, you can use remote login (telnet, ssh, etc) to remotely access the target system. The other option is you can run an X client on your local machne and login via X and have a full GUI on the remote system.
