Stephen, In general, I only run the server on Windows and I only run the viewer on Linux. Of course, if you want to be able to view two machines, say one Linux and one Windows, from a third machine, then the two machines both need the server. In other words, the server only needs to run on a machine that is to be connected to by a viewer, so if you are using the Linux machine only to run the viewer, then the server doesn't need to be running on the Linux machine.
As for building KDE, it is because I want to use a new version of the viewer, called krdc, which is not available in the KDE distributed with RH7.3 because it is a new program. You can download from the KDE web site the latest version of KDE which is always somewhat newer than the Red Hat distribution. Generally I don't do this because the I would rather wait until the newer code is more stable and Red Hat has built it for me, but in this case I believe the only way to get krdc is to download a newer version of KDE. However, you don't need krdc to use VNC; it has a feature that I like (scaling) that the TightVNC viewer doesn't have but the TightVNC viewer works fine with Linux.
