On unix (that includes linux) implementations of vnc, you get a fresh X11 session inside the default vncviewer. You never get the console. As far as I know the history of vnc, this unix way of giving a new session was the origional goal of all vnc but could not be done (easy) in M$Windows. So the M$Windows behavoure alters from the other vnc implementations by giving the console. If you like to get the console on a unix/linux machine, have a look at the next sites, all with their own advantages and disadvantages: http://xf4vnc.sourceforge.net/ http://www.hexonet.de/software/x0rfbserver/ http://www.tjansen.de/krfb/ The are all alternate vnc-servers with some restrictions and advantages.
