Installing a VNC Viewer

WooHoo! Finally managed to wrangle a VNC Viewer onto this thing, I'm psyched.

There's an app in the webstore for VNC to a remote server, but that's not really suited for logging in to another machine on the local network.

I've coaxed java to work locally, and am able to run a java vnc client applet.

Still can't get the java plugin to work in browser however.

Detailed directions to follow in a bit

  1. Have you had any luck getting rdesktop to run? I'm going to try and put together a static binary and copy it over and see the results.

    Getting X forwarding over SSH would solve a lot of this too, since you could rely on a full blown server to have all the binaries/libraries you need.
