I'd recommend VNC over X forwarding any day. x11vnc is the package to show the existing desktop, whereas vnc-server will create a remote X server, rather than the actual X desktop on the target machine :) You can use ssvnc if you need to wrap it through SSH (ie creates a tunnel for encrypted connections) but I have found this a bit tricky with x11vnc on occasions - YMMV and all that. You can of course ssh and tunnel the VNC port manually if you're over an insecure (Eg. internet) link and not your own personal LAN. Enjoy! MJE |
