Topic. Is it possible? What are the steps to do this? I heard about Gnome, VNC, tsclient, etc, but had no idea how to use it. Also which versions of the OS (Fedore? CentOS?) that support this?

Thanks. :)

Yes. AFAIK neither Fedora or CentOS support this kind of functionality out of the box, you're going to have to install it on any distribution.

Look up:

VNC
NoMachine NX (much faster than VNC)

Why do you need a remote desktop anyways?

X does networking natively though, you could just export the display. Just be sure to use X11 ssh tunneling. :spiny:

CentOS 4.2 supports it out of the box, I think it was called desktop sharing in centos 4.2. you have to check the check boxes and give it a password, so only you can connect to it

Thanks for the info everyone. So I just have to install X [I think FC4 already have it by default?] then RealVNC on the server and the viewer on my comp.

Tried RealVNC with my LAN windows comp, and it work real great :)

And about CentOS 4.2, I need to check the boxes and password first [Config Dialog?]? Can you do that with SSH commands? Because..ofcourse, you have to 'remote desktop' to have the graphical interface.

I forgot were it exatly was, but If you are using the X graphical interface, I think its under application than settings or preferences, and it was called desktop sharing, let me if you dont find it.
