Description: Standalone virtual network computing server
  VNC stands for Virtual Network Computing. It is, in essence, a remote
  display system which allows you to view a computing `desktop' environment
  not only on the machine where it is running, but from anywhere on the
  Internet and from a wide variety of machine architectures.
  .
  This package provides a standalone VNC server to which clients can connect.
  The server generates a display that can be viewed with a vncviewer.
  .
  Note: This server does not need a display. You need a VNC viewer to see
  something. This viewer may also be on a computer running other operating
  systems.
