VNC server viewing for sharing a desktop?

I'm looking to get a VNC set up so that any number of people can connect to a server and all see the same desktop instead of each being served up individual desktops.

Is there one that's better than others to accomplish this?

Virtual Infrastructure client for our VMs is great for this but not sure how to make that work in a normal setting.

Hyper-V can do this.

Trying to get this working on a SUSE 10 server running on the VNC viewer client on a windows xp box.

When you say you want them all to see the same desktop, do you mean like at the same time so they can each see what the others are doing at the exact moment? OR just that you want everyone to have the same desktop in general but individual connections.

i assume he means all computers have seperate connections but all have the same desktop when someone sits down at any one of them. like computers at a college or corporate workplace etc.

Thanks for the replies. I'm looking to have it such that if I'm on the box remotely....my boss in his office and my cohort across the way can both be remoted in as well, and watch me open windows, move the mouse, etc.

Sounds like what you really need is a KVM over IP.
