How to Configure a VNC in Debian
VNC is an application that allows you access to a remote computer. This includes the ability to run programs from the remote computer just as if you were directly using that computer. One of the best things about VNC is its ability to be platform independent, meaning that it can run on any operating system. Debian is a stable and solid Linux operating system. Debian is versatile in its abilities and is often used as a web server. Since most web servers don't need a monitor attached, VNC and Debian make a great combination for server access.
