Fedora 8 and VNC

February 24, 2008

I decided to drop Xubuntu and install Fedora 8 with GNOME as graphical desktop. What a difference!

Fedora is much faster to boot and to use the graphical interface. VNC was easy to install and to set up. Take a look at this great post!

I am now able to access the laptop from my main desktop computer.

Fedora is not peeeerrfect. It did not recognize my wireless card from start so I am using the ethernet card for now and VNC does not work if I don’t login at least once to the machine. After that, I can log out the user and use VNC.


VNC

I am now trying to install and access my laptop using VNC from my main computer through my home network. This post helped me install it from the command line and set some things up. I will also use this post to finish the set up.
