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.
