Cross Platform VNC?


Recommended Posts

really suggest you to check out http://www.gnome.org/projects/vinagre/ , " sudo yum install vinagre "

That looks nice, but it's a VNC client, and it sounds like the user wants a VNC server on his Linux computer, and the client on his windows computer, so in this particular situation I don't think it would help (...unless I misunderstood the original question).

Try an X server for Windows. Like Cygwin/X or Xming. After all, X11 communication is a socket based and it doesn't really care whether it's an Unix socket or a TCPIP socket.

That's what I'd do for individual applications.

If I want a have a whole desktop, I usually use x11vnc to connect to my running desktop (or start one using Xvfb) and tunnel it through SSH.
