Hey everyone, so basically i have family in colombia and puertorica and a lot of other places, I am looking for a software that will let me log into their pc and make changes, update files, and perform tasks from my computer to theirs.

I know about VNC, Teamview, and Logmein, Don't know if there are any other big names out there but if someone who does know about these systems can fill me in on some knowledge i would be most grateful.

which one of these is the least laggy? I remember i tried logmein before and it was very slow when i was logged into someone else's pc. Is this just how they all are? have they improved? I am hoping to find something that is very good to use and offers no noticeable delays or anything of that nature.

thanks for the help guys

the main reason they are slow is usually due to the upload speed of the internet connection on either end.

logmein used to be the best option since there was no need to configure a firewall or have someone on the other end approve a connction but it is no longer free.

You might want to look into FreeNX it looks like it can be downloaded from Sourceforge.net, its open source. I guess you could use a search engine and find out more about it.
