And folks, don't forget logmein! Like VNC but on steroids, uses 256 bit encryption, cross platform and absurdly easy to set -up, and the basic version is free. I've been accessing my mac at home from my PC at work for 2 years which is behind a very secure government firewall.
It doesn't need any port configuration as it uses https, has some very clever features like reducing the colour content and resizing on the fly and can be accesses from virtually any browser, especially handy if you are travelling and using a public computer. I believe there is even a iPhone\Touch beta version now too.

Good point, I think when George and I recorded this Logmein was pretty new and since that time there are a few other too. So thanks for pointing this ojut.

Thank you Victor and George, you are plugging a big gap here, nobody seems to have tackled this potentially thorny subject in such an easy to follow way! It would to know how this compares with off the shelf VPN solutions like Logmein etc. Presumably a VNC session over VNC would be far smoother than a logmein session?
Anyway, roll on the next 7 episodes!

The smoothness of any video remote control is going to be based on your Internet connection quality. But the advantage of doing something like VNC through SSH is that you completely control it. There is no third party software, servers or potential access. It is direct access and completely controlled by you.
