Ubuntu comes with vnc fascilities included...

For the viewer, I use 'Terminal Server Client', as that can use many 
protocols, including VNC and msWindows remote desktop and such.

For the server, show the destkop with 'Preferences -> RemoteDesktop'

If these options are not available, you might need to install them. 
Search for 'vnc' applications in the installer and off you go.
