I suspect it'll have very limited success.

I'd go to Google Remote Desktop, but with Teamviewer I can boot a machine up with it running as a daemon and connect to it remotely with no interaction.

I do this on an old laptop that I have set up with Linux as a jukebox -- my wife and I connect to it remotely via Teamviewer to control it and play music on it via Google Music, Pandora, Grooveshark, etc.

I couldn't find a way to get that to work with Google Remote Desktop or anything else that seemed practical, so Teamviewer it is.
