2. Remote Desktop: TightVNC

For those wishing to control their linux box from another Windows PC, TightVNC is very fast and handy. Note that TightVNC does not encrypt the session data.

• Install TightVNC Server and Viewer from Mandrake DVD
• Run server manually using command: vncserver
• Run server automatically with CRON job as “root” and command:
  • /bin/su root -l -c "/usr/bin/X11/vncserver :1"
