To use VNC to go from one Linux box to <BR>> another, get SSH working, then on the server do "vncserver :2 -geometry <BR>> 1024x768 -depth 8" and on the client "vncviewer -via <SERVER hostname><BR>> localhost:1". When done you can stop the server with "vncserver <BR>> -kill :1" on the server. I would think that using Windows as the client <BR>> would be similar, though the client command may differ
