[ILUG] vnc on Linux( was Hello boys and Girls)

[Ben Edwards]

>Can you get VNC to just display one app?

I think it is possible within the protocol but has not been implemented as 
such.  I seem to remember seeing a demo on there site where a small clock 
app was run in this way.

vcn is implemented as a remote access utility like PCAnyware or 
Reachout.  Therefore if you have a Win32 PC you can run vnc server on it 
and access it using a X viewer running on Linux.  In fact you can also 
access Mac fron Linux in this way (and maybe even BeOS).

Hope this answers your question,
Ben
