1 Good morning all:
2
3 For a couple days now I have been looking for a good simple setup that
4 will allow me to run vnc on one of my gentoo workstations at home and
5 connect to it from my windows box in another area of the house. I am
6 not going across the internet, or anything wild like that, just trying
7 to keep an eye on my box (the active desktop in fluxbox) when im
8 elsewhere in the house. So far all the VNC HOW-Tos etc that I have read
9 involve what appears to me to be very overly complex tunneling over ssh
10 etc (a good thing if I was going over the internet, but for what im
11 doing, totally un-necessary)
12
13 When I lived in the Fedora world, I could just install vncserver and
14 start it up and it connected me to my active desktop and away I went.
15 If anyone can suggest a method or solution, I would be MOST
16 appreciative.
