Using VNC, you can run graphical applications on a +remote machine and send only the display from these applications to your local +machine. VNC is platform-independent and supports a wide variety of operating +systems and architectures as both servers and clients. This package contains a +client which will allow you to connect to a VNC server. + +TigerVNC is a high-speed version of VNC based on the RealVNC 4 and X.org code +bases. TigerVNC started as a next-generation development effort for TightVNC +on Unix and Linux platforms, but it split from its parent project in early 2009 +so that TightVNC could focus on Windows platforms. TigerVNC supports a variant +of Tight encoding that is greatly accelerated by the use of the libjpeg-turbo +JPEG codec. TigerVNC has replaced RealVNC in the Fedora Project, and there are +long-term plans for it to replace TurboVNC in the VirtualGL Project as well. |
