Re: [PLUG] xp client remote to ubuntu/kde follow

["John BORIS" <jboris@adphila.org>]

Ron,
I am using Xtightvnc on the server end and RealVNC on my xp machine. I
am not a guru about setting that up. I followed the directions on Ubuntu
documention and got it working.

 i have that working
hello world

i can install a vmc client on xp box
i presume i must install vmcserver on ubuntu.

will that work?
if so, back to that same old question, ... which vnc to install
i believe it is in the ubuntu repo

That was the short answer but yes one would have to make sure the
firewall on the system allows incoming requests to port 80. He said he
wanted to play around with Apache Web so the first thing he would have
to do is get the Apache server installed and running and get the Hello
World page (or whatever Ubuntu uses as its base web page. And then go
from there. The fun is getting it to work and seeing all of the
obstacles that are there on a basic install. 

I shiver just thinking about my first try on Fedora when SELinux
arrived on the scene. Spending hours figuring why I couldn't see my new
Apache Site when I did everything I did before and come to find out that
SELinux had to be told to allow connections. Drove me nuts. Then again
it doesn't take much to send me down rabbit holes.
