FAQ

Teamviewer is a software for remote access and collaboration. Computers (PC,Mac, Linux ) and mobile devices can be controlled remotely if you need to use graphical screen. There are many other companies providing similar functionality (LogMeIn, etc), however TeamViewer has by far the best support on Linux platforms. Probably is not as secure as other linux solutions (as VNC over VPN) but the main advantage is that is very easy to install and configure, and works behind most firewalls without need to be configured.
