I have done this.  I can't connect to the OSTC server at the moment, but I
think this is how I did it.  I have a different version on VNC on my PC here
at work.

On the server run vncserver:1 -alwaysshared.  This starts a virtual desktop
that the clients will connect to.

On one of the clients run vncviewer -shared host:1.  This client will be
able to control the mouse and keyboard.

On the other clients, run vncviewer -viewonly host:1.  These hosts can see
what the other client sees, but can't control the mouse or keyboard.

I use it at the OSTC instead of purchasing an expensive data projector.


Later
