Install and Configure the Remote Desktop and VPN Centos 6

Its quite a intresting topic i brought today as i am not much passionate to access or work on Linux using GUI i always prefer SSH but i always compare Linux and Windows so while i was working on RDP to windows server i thought to try the consigure the Remote Desktop and Tiger VNC on Centos 6 Server.  
So Here we go  and lets take a start now.
Lets come to the topic now and gets started.


Before you take access to the Centos server user environment to be setup and configure to gain the Remote Access to the server. there are different level of access where a user get access to the server where as some one can just view the screen and monitor the server or gaining the complete control while the other user is actively working on it.

Well I notice that the Remote desktop support is install by default when we install the operating system It can be available to access from SYSTEM -- > PREFERENCES  --> Remote Desktop.
To check the Package is install so you can query it.

rpm -q vino

If the package is installed the rpm will display the version number along with the package details. if it return blank which means that there is no package installed on the server so you can install with the below command.

su - yum install vino

Output :-
[root@test Desktop]# yum install vino

Click on the Allow Other users to view your desktop and click close as you will notice the Icon appear on the Top right hand side corner.

I had configure the Remote Desktop with a password to connect for security reason . and also i am allowing the users to take control over and access the server remotely.

Testing Using the Windows Machine.
 I had install the VNC Viewer on the Windows 7 Laptop and i am access the Centos Server remotely using the IP address as 192.168.0.115:0

Where 0 as the Port number which it had configure.
