>>>>>>>How easy is WinAxe to set up? That was a big part of VNC on Windows
>>>>>>>me -- dead simple install.
>>>>>>Pretty easy. Install and run, for the most part. It's got some funky 
>>>>>>settings that you won't need. All you really need to do is run default 
>>>>>>settings and use your SSH tunnel.  I can provide more assistance if 
>>>>>>necessary, but inasmuch as I don't have many windows boxes around
>>>>>>I might be a touch rusty.
>>>>>I recently downloaded weirdx from http://www.jcraft.com/weirdx. It's a 
>>>>>java x window server. It should be possible to run it from within a 
>>>>>browser, haven't tested that so far.
>>>>How is performance?  I'm trying to picture a Java based X server.....  
>>>Its, slow...
>>>once connect, things seems to speed up but you have to be patient. Its 
>>>must ideal if you want to "un-haste" youself :-)
>>>I wanted to use it for running evolution remotely.  Ideas for running 
>>>remote evolution are greatly appreciated!
>>Why not just enable Xvnc on the Linux server and use vncclient from the
>>Win32 box.  Recent versions of VNC actually perform pretty well.
>Where do I get VNC, a quich search reveils a lot of vnc sites. Is it the 
>one from sourceforge you tried or are more projects with the same name?
>is there a  official vnc site?

Recent RedHats have VNC on the CDs in RPM.
