VNC Server Configuration in CentOS-5/6

############VNC Server Configuration in CentOS-5/6################

VNC ( Virtual Network Computing) server is  used to connect remotely to a computer system. This allows a user to see and control one computer from multiple locations. Because this control is transmitted over the Internet, the computer can be viewed from anywhere in the world.

VNC  is fairly uncomplicated and easy to use. Many operating systems, including Linux, Windows, already include simple VNC programs. These applications allow users to connect remotely and operate another computer loaded with the same software.
VNCs allow computers to become remotely sharable. This means that several different users, each in separate locations, can view a computer desktop at the same time. VNC software makes training, monitoring and troubleshooting easy by making remote access flexible.
