Is THIS VNC?

[Ryan D'Baisse]

Okay, I'm confused (again)...

I setup VNC on a new FC3 box.  I then setup the viewer on my laptop. 
When I logged into the VNCViewer application, I saw an ugly green and
grey screen that I guess was the old X11 stuff.  Having come from a
Microsoft world, I was expecting something more like Terminal
Services.  I assumed I would have a window pop up and have one of the
colorful environments (Gnome or KDE) to choose from.

Am I missing something or is THIS what VNC consists of?  If this
really is all that VNC has to offer then why would I use VNC instead
of SSH?

Thanx,
Ryan
