Oh. I only ever used in on Linux but saw packages for OSX and Windows. Just the viewer it seems.
Most PCs (Win/OSX) I want to help with only have a single user account. I would prefer not to share the physical display and mouse-pointer but technically it's probably not possible to have two separate sessions using the same user account - so my family members should take a break while I am connected remotely I guess. Are there any software solutions that you can recommend, which have a server on Windows/OSX and have a viewer for Linux? As mentioned in the first post, if I can tell them open a console and paste in the following command, it will download and install everything and it will auto-start after reboot, this would be really ideal. Graphical multi-step installers were always a problem for them in the past.
