Use the vnc RPM.  It has the client in it.  One recommendation: If the
serving machine is used by others or other tasks, turn off the screen
saver on the desktop on the machine that is serving vnc.  It's
unnecessary and sucks a lot CPU cycles.

You can (and arguably should) tunnel vnc through SSH if you need it
off-site.
