You should check out the latest Total Amiga magazine, there is a good article on Remote Desktop and VNC. Basically they offer the same functionality but:
-I personally find RDesktop faster than VNC.
-Rdesktop offers Audio forwarding to the Amiga.
-Rdesktop only works TO Windows machines.
-VNC is multi-platform - meaning servers are available for multiple OS's.
VNC is more open-platform, whereas Remote Desktop is for connecting to Windows-based computers. Check the web page for more info.
I'm sure others can provide more insight. I don't really use VNC at all.

| RDesktop is only for connections against Windows XP PRO, Windows 2003 server, or Windows 2000.
VNC works more or less everywhere.

That fact is probably going to limit me to VNC for now, even though I really like the look of RDesktop. |

'Scuse me if this is a daft question, but are you saying that the VNC program would allow me to have a remote Amiga desktop on my PC? But RDesktop wont? |

> are you saying that the VNC program would allow me to have a remote Amiga desktop on my PC?
yes [1]
> But RDesktop wont?
yes [2]
[1] because there exist VNC servers and clients for a lot of platforms that mostly can be crossed in any combination
[2] because there is no RDP server for AmigaOS |
