By the way, where do you get the rpm of VNC for redhat9?

I got my distro of Redhat 9 from the Redhat Linux 9 Bible. Does anybody know how to bring up my gnome desktop in vnc?

I installed everything from the RedHat 9 with 2.4.20-8 and
run the vncserver as per instructed in the thread...

wala, I got the gnome ...

Also, if you run firewall = medium, since vnc uses port higher
than 1024, so, it should be okay. VNC client can run as per
normal.

The only thing I did not get is I cannot see the same Terminal
as what it was displayed on the console. Instead, I see a
"newly" startup gnome desktop ... anyone know why?

Thanks.

That is the way vnc ix designed to run on unix based systems:
