From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Yep, this is what I use too. The display quality can drop if you've got a slow connection, but it works well.
The downsides are, I don't think it's FOSS, but it is free for home use, and if a machine has been off for long enough to drop off the connection list, you have to wait for NoMachine to detect it again. It needs a way to force it to check for systems instead of waiting.
It is indeed not FOSS. I should have asked OP how important that is - some people need a robust, ready-to-roll solution, preferably non-Microsoft, others a full FOSS license and figure stuff out on their own. Someone else mentioned X2Go, I have no experience with it but it is worth a look.
Will give both a look thanks
