Hmmm, I've been using VNC for years. This is the first I've heard of tightVNC. Downloading now....

hm_murdock:
I run a VNC server app on Mac OS X and can use any good VNC client to connect from anywhere on the campus network so that I can use my computer from anywhere. it's cool

voidmain:
TightVNC has a few more options and seems to be a little faster (better compression).

Also bazoukas, if you havn't figured it out yet you can run any desktop window manager you want with the Linux vncserver by modifying your "~/.vnc/xstartup" file. The default is dumb old twm window manager. In RedHat I just copy the "/etc/X11/xinit/Xclients" file over top of my "~/.vnc/xtartup" file and it will load the same default desktop that you would get if you had logged in locally (set the default desktop in the "/etc/sysconfig/desktop" file).

Also make sure you password protect it with "vncpasswd".

Bazoukas:
I havent tried running VNC as a server on RedHat yet. I did some experimenting with my cousin in Greece. I was on windos and he was on gentoo. I will install the client Side of VNC tomorow in Red Hat and see how it works.
 
 Thanks for the heads up VoidMan  :D

 We are three guys doing this project for our final and they are NOT showing the very least of intrest about it,their C++ skills are,,ummm bad, plus they never used Linux, so this is gonna be kinda intresting (doing the connection, plus writing a complex -for me at least- C++ program to present) and testing the whole kazzam out. I will mainly do all the testing using the Schools PCs and connecting to my Rig through school.

voidmain:
The vncviewer part under Linux is a no brainer, it's the same as it is in Windows. Just run "vncviewer", or use your web browser as a vnc client (Mozilla works well as long as you have Java installed and turned on).
