OK I cant seem to get VNC to connect, Im still confused about some of the DSL specifics so could someone explain how to set up a server and connect to it?  The web isnt helping because a lot of it is not explaining how to do it in DSL and non of the others I've tried have worked in DSL (Commands and such)




Thanks!

VNC should be simple; just load it onto the machines you want to connect with, put in the IP address, and it asks for a password when it locates the remote computer.  If it doesn't, then it's a problem with firewalls, etc., or you may need to alter router settings.

If you want to do it with ssh, you would need full X, as they include xdm.. Vnc is easier

I think there's a page on the wiki on VNC (or check the faq)

I've used ssh'd with X forwarding on DSL's tinyx before... although not an entire desktop... but I would assume it would be possible.  You can forward X on the client side by using `ssh -X`

^hats^, how did you do it?

Pop an app on the tinyX running on another machine? That works, I was thinking about logging into full tinyX desktop from that ubuntu machine..
