VNC

Using VNC to use a remote desktop in the HDA

Using VNC is useful if:

• You would like a Linux desktop to the HDA
• You would like to use a GUI to configure printer(s) and windows file sharing (Samba)
• You enjoy using the Linux desktop

To start the server, you type

 vncserver

The first time, it will ask for setting up a password. You can also specify a size, which I typically do a hair smaller than the desktop I plan to use it from. Example for 1280x1024:

 vncserver -geometry 1250x1000
