Let me comment on this (as the new debian maintainer of vnc) be sure to use 3.3.1-4. There have been a lot of fixes. vnc now comes with three packages: 1) vncserver . You need this if you want a X server running on the linux box, that you can display and control in a windows95/NT or even X window. 2) xvncviewer. You need this if you want to display a vnc server (either on linux or Windows 95) on the linux box under X. 3) svncviewer. You need this if you want to display a vnc server (either linux or Windows 95) on the linux box with svgalib (NEW!). If you want to have the full Win95 desktop in a Xwindow window, you need the Win95 server (from the homepage above) and xvncviewer. If you want to have the full Win95 desktop with svgalib, then you need svncviewer (note: this may be a bit unstable. I didn't experienced any problems, but I haven't tested it very much yet). You can configure vnc in /etc/vnc.conf and/or ~/.vncrc, but you mostly need this if you are going to use linux as the server. A side note: PLEASE report *any* experiences with vnc to me (what are you doing with it, does it work?, how stable is it?). I'm very interested in reports! Thank you!
