    UltraVNC is nice to connect to hosts while on the same network. However, you are unable to tell your parents to install this and connect to them.

    For users who know what they are doing TightVNC is a great way to control systems remotely.

    TightVNC requires server configuration and port forwarding. Too complicated for the average remote client who uses Team Viewer for remote support.

    Remmina is a great RDP or VNC client. These are already listed as remote desktop technologies. Let's be clear the main advantage of TeamViewer (and LogMeIn) is that the remote computer only needs an Internet connection. No port forwarding required.
