Controlling Ubuntu computer with Android phone?

[mathiasdk]

Hi
I'm the happy owner of a HTC Legend and a pretty old laptop with Ubuntu Linux installed.

Is there any app that lets me control volume etc. on my computer via wifi?

Best regards,
Mathias

I know there is a vnc application that is said to support linux:

android-vnc-viewer - Cyrket

(You would need to setup a vncserver, which you should probably turn to linux support if you want to figure out.)

Thanks for the quick answer!

One stupid question, maybe: What to I do with the "barcode" install it on my phone? Do I take a picture of it? With what app?

Thanks

Scan it with the barcode scanner app
