These will show up at ftp.redhat.com in the contrib directory
(probably) sometime in the next 24 hours.

Hello,
I have uploaded vnc (Virtual Network Computing) RPMS. RPMS are built with
RedHat 4.2 (sorry I've no 5.0 running, maybe next week).
vnc-3.3.1-1.i386_libc5.rpm
vnc-3.3.1-1.src.rpm
What is VNC ?
=============
VNC is a project of Oracle/Olivetti Research Lab. They have kindly released
this software under GPL License.
This is taken from: http://www.orl.co.uk/vnc/

VNC stands for Virtual Network Computing. It is, in essence, a
remote display system which allows you to view a computing
'desktop' environment not only on the machine where it is
running, but from anywhere on the Internet and from a wide
variety of machine architectures.

It's a really great piece of software. You can view your X-Desktop from
your Windows PC, and your Windows Desktop from your Linux or X-Workstation
or everything else running Java.
What is different to the original VNC ?
=======================================
1. Works with XFree86 (gzipped) fonts.
2. Integrated Java classes.
3. Moved everything in place.
3. Packed as RPM.
Anything else ?
===============
I also put packages for solaris (aka. slowlaris) into our download area.
ftp://ftp.weps.de/sparc-sun-solaris2/vnc-3.3.1-1.sparc-sun-solaris2.pkg.gz
ftp://ftp.weps.de/sparc-sun-solaris2/vnc-3.3.1-1.sparc-sun-solaris2.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.weps.de/x86-sun-solaris2/vnc-3.3.1-1.x86-sun-solaris2.pkg.gz
ftp://ftp.weps.de/x86-sun-solaris2/vnc-3.3.1-1.x86-sun-solaris2.tar.gz
That's it
=========
Please give me feedback on these packages. Please try to build
them on RedHat 5.0 and on sparc and alpha architectures! If you
think they should be built a different way, please let me know!
Have Fun.
