Ubuntu 11.04 includes remote desktop access capabilities. This provides two extremely useful features. Firstly it enables you or another person to view and interact with your Ubuntu Unity desktop environment from another computer system either on the same network or over the internet. This is useful if you need to work on your computer when you are away from your desk, for example while traveling. It is also useful in situations where a co-worker or IT support technician needs access to your desktop to resolve a problem. Desktop viewer apps are now available for smartphone and tablets such as the iPad providing the added convenience of remote access to your Ubuntu system from mobile devices.
