It is cross platform and you can use any vnc software with it. I made a "duct-taped" version (self extract 7zip to a temporary folder + stunnel +vnc connection all launched from a .bat file) that uses stunnel with 256 bit encryption (2 way authentication) to tunnel the vnc connection (the server runs Linux, the clients are on Windows workstations). The nice thing is that you dont need any encryption-aware vnc server so i use ultravnc for windows xp (user mode) and tightvnc for windows vista/7 (service mode, only for runtime). Tigervnc sadly uses too much CPU with its encryption, has no file transfer support and its not that stable yet. Additionally the viewer has no dynamic resizing and thats a big turnoff. > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning > Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing > also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service. > http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfnl/114/51521223/ > _______________________________________________ > Tigervnc-users mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/tigervnc-users -- O zi buna, Kertesz Laszlo ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service. http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfnl/114/51521223/ _______________________________________________ Tigervnc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/tigervnc-users
