VNC ( Virtual Network Computing )
VNC ( Virtual Network Computing )
Installing the required packages
Make sure to install a window manager in order to get a normal GUI desktop.
yum groupinstall “GNOME Desktop Environment”
to install the Gnome Desktop and requirements, for example.
The server package is called ‘vnc-server’. Run the command
rpm -q vnc-server
VNC is used to display an X windows session running on another computer. Unlike a remote X connection, the xserver is running on the remote computer, not on your local workstation. Your workstation ( Linux or Windows ) is only displaying a copy of the display ( real or virtual ) that is running on the remote machine.
If the server is not installed, install it with the command:
yum install vnc-server.
The client program is ‘vnc’. You can use the command
yum install vnc
