Another use for VNC has nothing to do with running it on the mainframe linux
itself. You can run VNC on a smaller server and use it as a "go-between"
allowing you to start long-running gui tasks (such as system installs) and
then close your laptop and go home or to the coffee shop, where you can pick
back up in your install without any loss or interruption.
A second use, which we do here quite a bit, is the feature that a VNC
session can be viewed by more than one user at a time (the -share option).
This allows you to show a problem to a coworker or vendor, or to watch
someone do a procedure and learn how to do it, or to share a desktop during
a conference call.
and if you don't need the GUI, then screen is your friend. It too allows
dosconnection and sharing; uses b-all RAM, lets you run many programs.
screen is great, as I'm sure Google would tell you: I've said it before.
