Ed Why not use the Remote Desktop feature already built into Ubuntu (as well as several other distros). This has the vnc protocol built in and allows you to assign a specific port that you want to use vnc on.

As I could not make the meeting held in the Rugby club I cannot comment. Needless to say access to the Internet, and a seemingly inexhaustible supply of network points and mains sockets is a great advantage!! If possible I would like help getting VNC running on Ubuntu! I have tried VNC4server via Synaptic. It goes in OK, I have followed the intructions I found, but still cannot get it to work! I also agree with Stuart - a decision on where is needed soon.
