Well, there are three different VNC apps, RealVNC, [EMAIL PROTECTED], TightVNC. I first tried all three to work with Xorg modular system, but they all didn't. Then I only had luck with RealVNC with XFree86 source. Note that building VNC is really time consuming as it builds the whole X server again. You're planning on migrating, hmm, what's the reason? think about the rule "As long as it's not broken, don't fix it" For me I just wasn't be able to install XFree86 because of hell lot of errors, seems they probably got fixed up later but I already made my choose :) Tijnema > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Tijnema !" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "BLFS Support List" <[email protected]> > Sent: Wednesday, March 21, 2007 10:12 AM > Subject: Re: Fax software > > > > On 3/21/07, dim-skou <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> BLFS team has done great job with all these servers (mail, web, dns, > >> ftp.....) > >> All these servers are also used at "work" pc's. > >> You are right.
