Not for runtime. However, to actualy use it, you need apps that use X11. They most times need stuff like libraries and so. For linux, they come with the XFree86 package. btw: the basic vnc installation and setup uses tools like twm and xterm. They are (kind of) part of the X11 standard and hence in the XFree86 package. > If No, what is the advance of Xvnc in manners of size? Advantages include: No need for any hardware at all, works on a headless server. What telnet is compared to terminals, vnc is compared to Xterminals. (with setup as on http://www.sourcecodecorner.com/articles/vnc/linux.asp ;-) Lower bandwidth useage as raw X11 over the network No need to install and configure M$Windows based X11 servers ... > I just need some really small X-Server on my Linux Router, to > run lMule, > nothing big.... Someone in the forum said, that VNC cuold do this... > So could someone clear my confusion? Try the setup as on the above link. Only needs the Xvnc binary from the vnc distribution. THen put a vnc-viewer on your desktop machine and access the machine. btw, Linux machines most likely need to run in runlevel 5 which needs to have an Xserver properly configured. If that is not the case, just fake a setup and replace the call to the X11 server with Xvnc and it should somehow work... I don't have experience with this but it should work. (this removes any X11 from the console of your router but I dont think you need that).
