| Virtual Network Computing (VNC) is a remote display system which allows you to |
| view and interact with a virtual desktop environment that is running on another |
| computer on the network. Using VNC, you can run graphical applications on a |
| remote machine and send only the display from these applications to your local |
| machine. VNC is platform-independent and supports a wide variety of operating |
| systems and architectures as both servers and clients. This package contains a |
| client which will allow you to connect to a VNC server. |

| TigerVNC is a high-speed version of VNC based on the RealVNC 4 and X.org code |
| bases. TigerVNC started as a next-generation development effort for TightVNC |
| on Unix and Linux platforms, but it split from its parent project in early 2009 |
| so that TightVNC could focus on Windows platforms. TigerVNC supports a variant |
| of Tight encoding that is greatly accelerated by the use of the libjpeg-turbo |
| JPEG codec. TigerVNC has replaced RealVNC in the Fedora Project, and there are |
| long-term plans for it to replace TurboVNC in the VirtualGL Project as well. |
