LTSP uses X, not VNC.

If you're doing strictly LTSP, you never do anything with VNC and 
shouldn't mix the two up if you're just getting started.

VNC can be used later on when you want to get to the LTSP server over a 
WAN, across firewalls, and on slow connections like dial-up or broadband.

X is preferred in a 100BaseT LAN environment.
