I'd like to setup my Fedora 8 machine as a VNC server so I can login to the Gnome desktop from a Windows XP machine using RealVNC. Does anyone have a simple guide for this? For some reason I can't get it to work. I'm not looking for anything complicated, I just want this setup for ONE user (prefereably without an additional password in VNC if possible.)
SUSE does it this way, it has some advantages over Red Hat's:

You might need to open ports on your firewall, whichever way you do it.
Is RealVNC available for Windows? I use tightvnc. it came on my opensuse
