Tested with Ubuntu 8.04 + Firefox 3. The plugin works correctly, is pretty fast even on my slow laptop. Sometimes it looks as if it freezed, but then goes further (can be a firefox/swap issue).
Keep up the good work and make remote controlling available to linux desktops, too!

Tested with Linpus Lite based laptops AcerOne and works perfectly.

However, I also have a Asus A6T using an AMD Turion 64 running Ubuntu 8.01 for AMD 64 and would like to be able to use it on there as the AcerOne has a very small screen.

For those like me who are eagerly waiting for the 64bit linux version of the plugin, there is now a viable alternative.  The developers of OpenJDK have an early release of the 64bit java plugin.

https://jdk6.dev.java.net/6uNea.html

This is a very early release of this software so it may seem slower than the 64bit fork (IcedTea).  However, I've tested this with Ubuntu 8.10, Fedora 10, and CentOS 5.  The 64bit Java plugin for Linux works fine with LogMeIn.

Where can I download theses packages from.

I can't find the links.

Thanks in advance.

Ok ! I've founded them.

Just tried this on Debian Sid (unstable) using the IceWeasel web browser with some success. The connections work, but disconnecting remote control sometimes causes browser lockup.

AS an update, it seems to be working smoothly now, without lockups, at least for the last 4 or 5 logins.
