FreeNX
I talked about FreeNX at the meeting tonight (next time, bring rocks for
the stoning). It is a Linux only app that is similiar to Citrix
(without the licensing fees). It supports multiple users at a time, and
allows you to suspend and resume sessions.
Before you install, I urge you to look at my walkthrough of installing
it under Ubuntu - even for those of you not running it.

To install:
Ubuntu or Debian - add the following line to your /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://kanotix.com/files/debian/ ./
Be forwarned, there are other .debs there, which I've not tested, I
recommend you comment it out once you've installed, and you do not
apt-get upgrade while it is in your sources.list. You'll want to install:
