You can compile anything for any os. What i was trying to say was the only rpm package available for tightvnc was for fedora 1 and was compiled to use the xfree86 window system. I said I probably needed to get the source and recompile it to get it to work and I don't know how to do that.
How stupid of me...I had skimmed the manpage didn't see anything...I checked again and I found out how to start in on a diff port...just put a space and : portnumber... k, we got that figured out.
Now to get back to the root of the problem...this is what i get when I connect to the vnc server via my pc...
I can launch x window apps now..but through the cmd prompt..I get no desktop environment..I guess thats just the way the default vncserver is right? I need to find a vnc server that i will give me full desktop environment and all...either that or i'll have to buy a kvm switch which i've been seriously thinking about.
I've used webmin before thanks for the tip...
