What is VNCserver?
VNC stands for Virtual Network Computing. It was originally developed by AT&T as a way to administer machines without using the console. If you have used Windows Terminal Services (RDP), VNC will seem very familiar.
Why use VNCserver?
In Linux, everything can be done from a shell. However, there may be a time when you need to access the machine as if you were at the console.
Getting Started
You will need several things to get started:
root privledges
VNC client software (tightVNC, you can download it here.)
A good password!
As I mentioned above, this example is done with RHEL, which comes standard with VNCserver installed. To start the vncserver simply invoke the following commands:
[root@roswell etc]# service vncserver start
Starting VNC server: [ OK ]
[root@roswell etc]#
[root@roswell etc]# vncpasswd
Password:
Verify:
[root@roswell etc]#
[root@roswell etc]# vncserver
New 'roswell:1 (root)' desktop is roswell:1
Starting applications specified in /root/.vnc/xstartup
Log file is /root/.vnc/roswell:1.log
[root@roswell etc]#
