I would suggest first and foremost to not use VNC at all. VMWare offers some free options, and they come with a tool for connecting that will be less resource intense.
Barring going that route for any reason, I would suggest using Microsofts RDP protocol to support remote login to the Windows machine. This would be less resource intense, and be more responsive than VNC. There are plenty of RDP clients for linux and windows to connect. ----- Original Message ----- > Anyone have experience with running VMWare on Linux through a remote > VNC connection?
