TeamViewer goes cross-platform, now available for download on Linux
Some of the more recent additions -- like per-application screen sharing via TeamViewer's toolbar button -- haven't made it into the Linux version yet, but things administrators need most are there. Remote (both hosting and control), file transfer, chat (both text and voice), and session recording all work nicely. Partner Lists are also available on Linux, making remote connections to your saved hosts a cinch.
Right now, TeamViewer for Linux is beta software. Like other TV betas I've tested on Windows and Mac, however, the Linux version is very usable and every bit as solid as most of the stable release software I run.
TeamViewer has provided .deb and .rpm builds for both 32 and 64-bit Linux distros, and a .tar.gz download is also available. Head over to the Linux download page to try it out!

Anyone know how to get rid of the annoying pop-ups with TeamViewer? I am using it non-commercially but TeamViewer insists on popping up a message after each time I connect to a computer remotely, reminding me to not use it for commercial purposes. How can you stop those stupid messages?
That's actually why I don't use TeamViewer anymore. If I remote into my Media Center for example I don't want a stupid pop-up in front that i have to dig out a keyboard and mouse (or different VNC software) to close.

It works !!!
Controlling my ubuntu at home from my ubuntu inside VirtualBox in the office .. and it works !!
I had some issues with Nautilus, it keeps deleting files by mistake, you have to do things slowly, but for the rest works great.
And yes, the pop-ups are annoying ....
