Ok, this is drifting a bit OT, but I'm going to strike while the iron is hot. I've got my backend machine set up and pretty much working, but it is going in the closet so I don't have to listen to it. I need to get VNC working. In the past when I was running FC1, I just did apt-get for TightVNC and I was all set. Starting a VNC server and connecting yielded me my complete KDE/Gnome/WhateverWM desktop.Why bother with a full-on desktop anyway? You have X installed on the machine, I assume you have X somewhere else too...
Now that I'm running FC3, TightVNC doesn't seem to be available, and when I connect using the already installed vncserver, all I get is a minimalist TWM environment.
How to get a full-on desktop? I'm suspecting I need to edit one or more of the X config files, but I'm clueless. If there's a FAQ for this one, please point me to it.
ssh into the machine, set your DISPLAY to be your desktop machine, and just run your X apps as normal.
