I have a colleague in the social sciences whose laptop I maintain as a 
professional favor (she has no support from her department, cannot 
afford a MacOS X machine, and I was sick and tired of trying to make MS 
Win work -- EL 5 is stable and supports the hardware she owns).  She is 
a journal editor, and requires access to the remote machine used by this 
journal (MacOS X).  The journal is housed at a different university. 
The technical support staff person to the journal has installed LogMeIn 
as the means of her to do remote access.

I have found

https://secure.logmein.com/US/labs/

LogMeIn Hamachi for Linux (Beta) - command line version

but my colleague needs a GUI -- remote Gnome client (her machine) to a 
MacOS X server via LogMeIn (I pursued VNC and other solutions -- but 
this is the only free service that the remote university will allow due 
to their view of security).

At present, my only solution is to run the LogMeIn MS Win client under 
MS Win under VirtualBox under EL -- does anyone know of another avenue?

Thanks for any assistance.
