KernelPanic:
Here is what I will be using it for:

Slackware Server
Windows/Mandrake client

I will be using mandrake though as the viewer, because I try not to use my windows (p)OS.

I think you have told me what I need to know void main, the detail was appreciated     I'll tell you how I got on later today...

voidmain:
Tux, it's good to test the vncserver on your Linux box and the only time it comes in handy is if you need to access X apps on your server from your Windows box without installing an X server on your Windows box. But as I've said, I usually have no need for this because if I am not dependant on X apps, and if there is one I really need access to and I am on a Windows machine I would prefer to install and use Cygwin on that Windows box and have the remote X app display on the Cygwin X server running on the Windows box.  

But if you can't install Cygwin and absolutely need to run a remote X app, for a one time quick and dirty access you can just log in to the remote Linux box, do a "vncserver :1", then open up IE on the local Windows client and do a "http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:5801" and you can remote control an X session to run X apps without installing *any* extra software on the Windows client.

pah, perl is giving me headaches but i'm nearly there...

KernelPanic:
Well, i've finished setting up VNC. Thanks for all your help. Now that i've set it up I know that I dont really need it but, it has been an experience.
SSH will do me for all my admin tasks, but anyway VNC worked, Thanks    

EDIT - I can't spell for sh*t
