[SOLVED] VNC: What are you using?

manu-tm · 04-08-2012, 02:43 PM

Hi everybody,

I'm testing remote assistance software on an Ubuntu box to provide support for people mostly on windows machines. I know there are several VNC implementations available (Vinagre, RealVNC, TightVNC, TeamViewer, etc...) but not all of them are open source nor trustable. So which one are you using - in case you're using one?

Thanks!

I am using TightVNC because it works with XP, Vista and 7. I am happy with the results so far...

Thanks. I'm gonna try it.

Which packages are you using on Linux (java version or something else)?

I just had a look at Remmina which seems quite good, although I'm not sure about compatibility with TightVNC.

In linux I use the remote desktop viewer (which I guess is installed by default in Ubuntu). So I only install TightVNC in the Windoez boxes.
