I am new to linux. I was using windows for years now ,and my work from home was done by using vnc viewer. I use vnc to log into an linux system. Now I am using a linux system , is there any way i can skip vnc viewer ? I can ping to my work Ip.

I can use screen or other such things, but i thought if there was a way i can mount my work linux system and work on my desktop itselfs

There is several way to connect to a remote Linux machine.

Shell access

You can use ssh: in a local terminal, use ssh login@host and you got a remote terminal.

Single window access

Just add -X option to ssh to enable X11 Forwarding : like in 1, you'll have a terminal on the remote host, but any graphical application that you launch on your term will be displayed locally. IMHO, this is the best option.

Whole desktop access

You can use a vnc client like vinegar.

There is also other protocols but some are really old (xdmcp), and other may be too young (nx).
