It would be great if we could natively connect to VNC or install VNC for unix...

Actually it could be done and it would be a cool feature. We will do some research regarding this feature. I'll keep post update to this thread in a short while.

| I use vnc within VNC Manager all the time. I use the ssh tunnel to the server I want to use as well.

The VNC Manager supports built-in SSH tunneling for VNC/RDP connections since v3.5

| Yes it does and I have been using the tunneling. I tunnel useing the ssh server on the box I want to control. Very, very useful. I was just saying the the current VNC manager supports the vncserver on uniix and in fact it presumiblly has since day one. The only thing lacking is the remote install. I can't imagine the problems in supporting the install though, given all the different distributions, dependencies, etc. On some, perhaps most distributions, vncservier is installed when you install X.

| You are correct about problems supporting different Linux/Unix distros. I think in its first implementation VNC Deployment will support Red Hat and probably one or two other mainstream distros. By the way, there is a chance that SmartCode Remote Exec will support remote exec on Unix/Linux machines.

| Please use a poll about the ones that people use that you could support besides Red Hat.

| Don't think so. It is looking for the ADMIN$ share. It would be nice. It would allow remote start of the vncserver. I would absolutely allow VMWare command line control (my other request).

I'm not sure that there is a big win here. vncserver is so easy to install and if you install a desktop it is probably already there. No complicated setup either. Just run it, add a password. I think there are a lot of variables and that you may end up chasing a feature for very little gain. Think about the firewall issues, on by default. vncserver can launch multiple times which means multiple possible ports. vnc isn't secure so the user will need to do some configuring anyway.
How about remote command execution as there is for Windows. Perhaps it could allow for remote execution of a script which did a vncserver install or any of a million other tasks. Solves many management tasks.
