Introduction

Every day when I finish work, I switch off my desktop computer. When I switch it on again the following morning, I can carry on where I left off. I switch on the computer, and all of my application windows are exactly where I left them. The web browser is still showing me the webpage I was half-way through reading. How? I use Virtual Network Computing: VNC.

My desktop session actually runs on another machine in another building. The desktop computer I sit in front of runs a VNC viewer and shows me my desktop—but the applications in that desktop are running inside a VNC server session.
