Prophecy Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 User runs unbunto on his server and he wants to remote in on his windows box. Anyone know the best software to do so? Im thinking TightVNC? Helps is appreciated. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Scaife Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 TightVNC should do fine. Any VNC client should be able to connect to any VNC server, regardless of the platform it runs on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyro Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 really suggest you to check out http://www.gnome.org/projects/vinagre/ , " sudo yum install vinagre " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Scaife Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 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).

Glowstick Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrA Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 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.

Glowstick Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Doesn't stop you from running gnome-session or whatever other session manager (KDE, etc) and have a full desktop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
