Hello mat... Being a SUSE fan myself, I can help here...
First off, did you know that SUSE already had VNC installed on your machine? Albeit, the tightvnc version... Also SUSE went through a lot of trouble to set vnc up for you. They prepared vnc as a "Terminal Server" (this allows you to run multiple desktops at the same time.) They prepared vnc in XWindows to allow you to see the current screen on the the actual monitor (ala windows version). They prepared a Remote desktop sharing setup to allow you to request help from friends, via email, chat.... Each of these are already installed, setup, and can be configured from the GUI. Unless you really know what your doing, (or want to learn) I would suggest you stick to the SUSE prepared services, after all, you bought the distribution to avoid messing with all these nasty little configuration details, right? ;) Jerry Westrick.
