The answer to both questions is - "it depends on the speed of your network", ie what other traffic is on your 100Mb link apart from vnc. Try it, it's free. And probably faster than Terminal Server on the same hardware. -----Original Message----- From: Alexander Daniloff [SMTP:alex@daniloff.com] Sent: Tuesday, January 04, 2000 11:47 PM To: suse-linux-e@suse.com Cc: plug@northwest.com Subject: [SLE] Running Winblows VNC server? Hello Linux folks! Is somebody of you actually using VNC with Linux and Winblows NT? Could you please share your experience. I have to use some Winblows M$ office applications for my job. I don't want to create win32 partition on my Linux box HD and use emulator like vine and so on. I want to setup Winblows based M$ office application server for my Linux box using VNC protocol. After I visited VNC web site http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/winvnc.html I assumed that in general I can run Winblows applications with installed VNC viewer on Linux box and with installed VNC server on Winblows box. My questions are: 1. Will Winblows M$ Office97 run noticeably slower on Linux box over my 100Mb network connection? 2. Will I be able to run graphic intensive applications on Linux box from Winblows VNC server? For example games, pictures, java applets and so on. If not, may be you can tell me a better solution? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
