[user @ host ~]$ yum info gtk-vnc Installed Packages Name : gtk-vnc Arch : x86_64 Version : 0.3.8 Release : 8.fc11 Size : 211 k Repo : installed From repo : fedora Summary : A GTK widget for VNC clients URL : http://live.gnome.org/gtk-vnc License : LGPLv2+ Description: gtk-vnc is a VNC viewer widget for GTK. It is built using coroutines : allowing it to be completely asynchronous while remaining single threaded. So it isn't that one.. meaning you can rule out similarily named packages (like gtk-vnc-python, gtk_vnc-devel) Next on the list is tigervnc: [user @ host ~]$ yum info tigervnc Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit Installed Packages Name : tigervnc Arch : x86_64 Version : 0.0.91 Release : 0.12.fc11 Size : 570 k Repo : installed From repo : updates Summary : A TigerVNC remote display system URL : http://www.tigervnc.com License : GPLv2+ Description: Virtual Network Computing (VNC) is a remote display system which : allows you to view a computing 'desktop' environment not only on the : machine where it is running, but from anywhere on the Internet and : from a wide variety of machine architectures. This package contains a : client which will allow you to connect to other desktops running a VNC : server. And behold! It is a VNC client, so maybe you would look around for a server version of this package.. and there is one in our list at the top (tigervnc-server). Lets make sure: [user @ host ~]$ yum info tigervnc-server Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit Available Packages Name : tigervnc-server Arch : x86_64 Version : 0.0.91 Release : 0.12.fc11 Size : 1.2 M Repo : updates Summary : A TigerVNC server URL : http://www.tigervnc.com License : GPLv2+ Description: The VNC system allows you to access the same desktop from a wide : variety of platforms. This package is a TigerVNC server, allowing : others to access the desktop on your machine. And we were right, it is the VNC server! As you can see from above, looking up packages in yum isn't very difficult, sometimes looking for the answer is more fun than getting it.. At least in my opinion. This will also work for other packages (for example if you are looking at a howto for Ubuntu and it gives you a package like libnss-devel.. by this method you will find the nss-devel package in Fedora ). Yum info on that package will tell us what it is, in the case of nss-devel "Header and Library files for doing development with Network Security Services.".. so that would be correct. Anyways, just thought I'd help you to become more self sufficient in finding the packages you want.
