yes. works fine - as soon as i know the ip address. and i too use ssh to connect to remote systems. > To me, the advantage of a vnc connection is where two or more users > access the same screen and can communicate via phone/skype conference. > However, for a single user, it seems to me that a vnc setup is unneeded > overhead. i agree. but: i want to play with different distributions, most use dynamic ip. as i want to set up a headless i7 with a fat harddisk in the cellar, vnc would make life much easier! with ssh i have 2 points: 1) i have to know the qemu-image ip 2) the ssh-server must be started which is not default with quite a lot of life-distros. with vnc i just have to connect to the server-ip with the 590x port, where the x is known by qemu '-vnc :x'. with ssh i have to look at what ip my dhcp-server assigns to the qemu-session. not realy a problem, i can ssh to it... vnc just needs 2 more packages: gtk-vnc + vinagre thus disk-overhead is minimal, protocol-overhead i can ignore as i have 1gb network inhouse. thanks tobias -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
