want to spend a weekend discussing it with disturbingly intense bearded men in

Securing your VNC connection using SSH |
|
Tuesday, 11 December 2007 |
VNC stands for Virtual Network Computing. It is remote control software which allows you to view and fully interact with one computer desktop using a VNC viewer on another computer desktop anywhere on the LAN or Internet. The two computers don't even have to be the same type, so for example you can use VNC to view a Windows XP desktop at the office on a Linux or Mac computer at home.
Once you are connected, traffic between the viewer and the server is unencrypted, and could be sniffed by someone with access to the intervening network. Is security imported to you, we recommend tunneling the VNC protocol through some more secure channel such as SSH. This workshop describes how to connect from a Windows XP client to a Linux (OpenSuse 10.3) server via VNC and to tunnel this connection using SSH.

|
It may be a brave opinion but I predict that Ubuntu Linux and Windows Vista are going to be the two operating systems that will take over the largest chunk of the desktop OS market during the next couple of years. This comparison is based on my experience with both systems during the last couple of weeks on two different computers. |
