TigerVNC was originally based on the (never-released) VNC 4 branch ofTightVNC. More informationregarding the motivation for creating this project can be found in theprojectannouncement.

The creation of TigerVNC software was initiated by Red Hat with the goal of improving on TightVNC. TigerVNC development started from a snapshot of TightVNC code and has expanded support to include Linux and Mac as well as Windows, plus various performance and security enhancements. Install Desktop Environment. By default, Ubuntu Server does not include a Desktop Environment.

X11vnc is a VNC server, it allows one to view remotely and interact with real X displays (i.e. A display corresponding to a physical monitor, keyboard, and mouse) with any VNC viewer. While it is not developed any longer by its original author Karl Runge, LibVNC and the GitHub community have taken over the development. X11vnc does not create an extra display (or X desktop) for remote control.

The latest release of TigerVNC can be downloaded from ourGitHub releasepage. Besides the source code we also provide self-contained binariesfor 64-bit and 32-bit Linux, installers for 64-bit and 32-bit Windows anda universal binary for Intel-based Macs. We also try to provide packagesfor various distributions when we easily can.

Pre-release builds of the experimental next-generation code can befound here.

TigerVNC is also provided with many distributions, such asFedora,OpenSUSE,FreeBSD,Arch Linux,Red Hat Enterprise Linux andSUSE Linux Enterprise.

This documentation is for the Unix programs but is mostly relevant forthe equivalent Windows programs as well.

If there is an issue you'd really like to get fixed, or if you're aprogrammer that could use some extra cash, head over toBountysourcefor information on how to trade bugs and features for the almighty buck.You can also make a general donation, which we (the TigerVNC admins)can distribute as bounties on existing issues.

A community maintained version of the VNC/RFB specification is maintained by the rfbproto project.
