You are mistaken. VNC isn't limited on Linux like it is on Microsoft OSes.
Right. You can run as many Xvncs as you want (via the "vncserver :N"
script). You access them via "vncviewer hostname:N" where the ":N" is
the display you want (default is ":0"). If you include
Load "vnc"
in 'Section "Module"' and
Option "passwordFile" "/root/.vnc/passwd"
in 'Section "Screen"' of your xorg.conf file and restart X, ":0" will
be a shared version of the main console if you're running in GUI mode
(run level 5). It's quite handy, and if you tunnel via SSH
("vncviewer -via ssh-hostname hostname:N"), the X session is secure
(and a tad bit slower--not a bad trade off IMHO).
