Remote desktop access to linux

Decided to allow remote desktop access, so could access all servers from my laptop.

  1. Enable remote desktop access - (On gnome desktop System->Preferences->RemoteDesktop). Good article here
  2. Download TightVNC or RealVNC
  3. Enable firewall access to port 5900 on the target server running VNC server (On gnome desktop System->Administration->Firewall->other ports->Add)
Even on a low end Linux server, the remote desktop is reasonably responsive.
