| Re: [PLUG] X2GO vs VNC for Local Remote Desktop |
Hi Casey, I did not use the term "official". However, yes, that is the version that I am referring to. Ubuntu 14.04 has a very similar version of x11vnc because Ubuntu pulls from Debian. TigerVNC is not yet in the Debian repo, that is true. However, you can download generic builds in tarballs here: https://bintray.com/artifact/download/tigervnc/stable/tigervnc-Linux-i686-1.4.3.tar.gz https://bintray.com/artifact/download/tigervnc/stable/tigervnc-Linux-x86_64-1.4.3.tar.gz As for X2Go, packages.x2go.org has packages you can use. They are very high quality; Mike Gabriel is both a Debian Developer and an X2Go developer: http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/doc:installation:x2goserver#debian Once X2Go finishes modernizing the "nx-libs" codebase, we intend to re-submit x2goserver for inclusion in Debian. -Mike On Sun, Jun 14, 2015 at 10:53 AM, Casey Bralla <MailList@nerdworld.org> wrote: > MIke, I'm using the version of x11vnc include din Debian 7 stable.
