The number of VNC-related projects has proliferated to the point that there are now
more than 75 listed on SourceForge (http://sourceforge.net). Some commercial products
are also based on this technology (including several from RealVNC).
The RealVNC and TightVNC products are the most commonly deployed. These
friendly competitors keep leapfrogging each other, and both versions continue to
advance at a aggressive pace. Many Unix systems and Linux distributions contain
one or the other (for example, Fedora includes the RealVNC software, and SUSE
includes TightVNC). The server is called Xvnc in both cases.
Does it matter which one you use? Not really. Either RealVNC or TightVNC will
work fine for most projects, so start with the one included with your OS or distribution.
If you find yourself in need of a feature that that version does not have, then
that??™s the time to go hunting.

The Xvnc server is based on XFree86/X.org and therefore accepts most of the same
command-line arguments, such as the display number, access control options, termination
options, and XDMCP query commands. It does not use a xorg.conf-style configuration
file because there is no hardware to configure; instead, the display depth
and virtual screen size are specified on the command line.
