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!
