DRCae4e8e22011-02-09 08:07:36 +00008\f0\fs24 \cf0 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.\

10TigerVNC 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.\
