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
