VNC is really neat, it uses a "virtual framebuffer".  This means that you
can run vncserver on your machine even if the video card itself doesn't work
correctly, the only thing that it requires is that you have a nicely formed
Xorg config file.  In case your video/monitor blows out, it is a nice way to
be able to run your GUI scripts and programs until you can get a
replacement.
