This is my first tutorial and excuse if my english is bad. Here am going to show you the step by step process of configuring vnc server in a rpm based linux distribution (redhat/centos/fedora/suse). I am writing this tutorial because when I started learning linux, first thing I wanted was to configure a VNC server so that I can get used to linux working from a windows machine. And I really had a bad experience in the beginning to configure it.

First thing we needed to do was to install the VNC Server if its not already installed.

To check whether the vnc server and client was not installed you can execute the code mentioned below which will tell you the vnc server and client package was installed or not. In my case its already installed.

linuxidiot@CentOS-Box$ rpm -qa| grep vnc
vnc-4.0-8.1
vnc-server-4.0-8.1

Here the linuxidiot refers to the user in the system CentOS-Box, If its not installed already then we can go ahead and install the vncserver and client package.But before that you need to have root access to install an rpm package, so make sure you know the credentials for the root user . And Vncserver and client packages can be found in the rpm folder in the redhat distribution installation cds

linuxidiot@CentOS-Box$ su root
linuxidiot@CentOS-Box$ ********
root@CentOS-Box#

Note: The change ‘# ’symbol from ‘$’ in the terminal which means that you have the root privilleges. From now am going to provide only the commands prefixed with ‘#’ symbol. All you have to do is just follow the instruction as root user.
