Virtual Network Computing (VNC) is a remote display system which allows you to view a computing 'desktop' environment not only on the
machine where it is running, but from anywhere on the Internet and from a wide variety of machine architectures.  This package contains a
client which will allow you to connect to other desktops running 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 aims to eventually replace TurboVNC as well.
