VNC

From: John Aldrich 
------------------------------------------------------
Note for anyone who's trying to use VNC on a new install: make sure your 
xstartup in your .vnc folder is executable. :D I found out the hard way 
when I was setting up a Debian test machine and couldn't figure out why I 
kept getting a solid grey screen when I had a window manager specified. Then 
I compared permissions between the Fedora box and the Debian box. :D Little 
things like that'll get ya every time! :D

I also suggest using SSH tunneling with VNC. VNC has no native encryption
and the passwords are inherently weak.

Well, yeah... that's a given.  At least for me, unless I'm ONLY using it on 
the home LAN over a wired link. :D

I was mainly talking about the problems I had getting anything besides a 
solid gray screen. :D
