Virtual Network Computing (VNC) is a remote display system which allows you to
view and interact with a virtual desktop environment that is running on another
computer on the network. 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.
