Remote Desktop Vnc__linux under Linux

Linux is not installed in my home machine. (The optical drive is broken, the installation system is not convenient, is waiting for manufacturers to change it.) Therefore, it is not convenient to use the Office system. It used to be an SSH login to the office machine, but that's only a character interface, too bad, install a Windows X server, and then use SSH to my Office machine desktop to run it is also OK, but still feel less than Windows Remote Desktop cool. So finally decided to try VNC.

VNC has been used, but probably because the version is too old. With a feeling of discomfort, speed on some cards. Like Vncserver and Tightvncserver. and tightvncserver implementation of the Remote Desktop in the word than the real desktop of the word small, more ugly. Finally I chose to use Vnc4server, the client is REALVNC4 for Windows (or it can be tightvncviewer for Windows).

Because Linux is used in the Debian system, so the installation of Vnc4server is too simple, direct apt-get install Vnc4server is done. After installation, you can start the server by executing vncserver. Its desktop is automatically numbered, for example: 1:2. The first time it is executed, it will also ask you to enter a password.

You can now try the VNC Viewer 4 client connection. The address is your IP: Desktop number . For example:202.194.67.28:1. then enter the password. If there is no problem, you can see your remote Linux desktop. But you will find that the default desktop is TWM plus a terminal. It's too hard to use, you might say. Don't worry. Enter your directory of the . VNC Directory, you will find a xstartup file, this file is the launch of VNC Remote Desktop. You can replace the contents of this file with the contents of the/etc/x11/xsession file.

Then use Vncserver-kill:1 to kill the original desktop, restart a desktop with Vncserver, and then connect to it, you will find the same as on your Linux machine to perform the same desktop. Haha, it's cool.

Vnc4server remote desktops are much faster than the remote desktops of Vncserver and Tightvncserver, and the font effect is good. But it does not seem to support XTT, and neither does the other two, so a gtk1 program like XMMS cannot use the TTF font.
