Hi Richard,

I installed Fedora 11 from a live CD and wondered where "Remote Desktop" 
had gone (it's usually there by default).
After reading about the new tigervnc I thought the server was being 
replaced.

If you want to enable "Remote Desktop" on Fedora 11 (as it was in F10) 
then you need to make sure vino is installed.

sudo yum install vino

Then to setup your preferences run:

vino-preferences

You can also now access this from System > Preferences > Remote Desktop.

The tigervnc package is a replacement for vncviewer, which will allow to 
vnc onto other machines from your Fedora 11 box.
I had a look at tigervnc-server, but I can't see an easy way to enable 
it to attach to the console, like vino does.
Not sure whether tigervnc-server will replace vino in the future but I 
assume it will (tigervnc has a lot of performance increases and virtualgl)

Regards,
Andrew
