Hey Jim,

What do you mean that you configued VNC on the LTSP server?

K12LTSP comes with VNC pre-configured, but firewalled-off on the
external interface by default.

Try logging into the K12LTSP server as you normally do, open a
terminal shell, and type:

	vncviewer localhost

You should get a login screen just as if you were logging in
from a terminal.
