+1 for nomachine. However, as pointed out by Chris, with NX Free
Edition, only 2 concurrent connections at any one time will be allowed,
and up to 2 user names is permitted. See:

If the OP requires more than 2 users/sessions, then FreeNX (and the
nomachine free Windows client[1]) would be the way to go.

Added note: NX is _considerably_ faster & safer than plain VNC.
