vnc allows you to connect to a remote computer's display over the network. It consists of a client and a server. The client is the viewer, the server provides the display. You can also allow browsers to view the server's desktop.

To configure vnc so it can be viewed from a web browser:
Fedora 14
- install and start vncserver
yum install tigervnc-server-applet vncserver -httpport 80
- install xterm as vncserver will by default try to start xterm. Install nmap to verify vncserver is listening on a network port.
yum install xterm nmap
- verify the server is listening on port 80
# nmap localhost Starting Nmap 5.21 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2010-11-28 09:57 UTC Nmap scan report for localhost (127.0.0.1) Host is up (0.000015s latency). Not shown: 996 closed ports PORT STATE SERVICE 22/tcp open ssh 80/tcp open http 5901/tcp open vnc-1 6001/tcp open X11:1
- stop the firewall
/etc/init.d/iptables stop chkconfig iptables off
