All vnc-systems are the same except the M$Windows based ones. Origionally, vnc is developped to provide a windowing system origionating from a server, showing on a remote (low cost desktop) display. Unfortunatly, this could not be done for M$Windows machines, hence the design for this platform is altered to display the console... Currently most users see the M$Windows design as the default and expect the same on unix machines. Its possible on a limited set of systems: There is an module for XFree86 (on Linux) that adds the rfb protocol to the X11 server. There is a tool that runs in/with KDE (krfb or such) that should work wherever kde is available. There is a tool that runs on some frame-buffer devices. > > > is there any way to speed up the applet browser-based > vnc with ssl? when i try it in windows, it takes up to > 10 minutes before the browser loads. well, you just describe the worst scenario I can imagine. If you need something like ssh or any other security, best disable the webserver and java browser, it strips a lot of unnecessary overhead: you don't need to open 2 ports, only one (the 59xx one). you don't need to transfer the applet so ssh does not need to encrypt it. (it does so on every reload!!!) If you need the applet because there is no binary viewer for your platform, then just start it locally. If speeed is an issue and ssh is required, then disabling the vnc-compression can boost the performance on the server since there is only one compressor/encryptor running. ssh can do compression too (does it by default?) > > __________________________________ > Do you Yahoo!? > The New Yahoo!
