A good way to search for packages that may not have easy names is:

[user @ host ~]$  yum list | grep -i vnc
gtk-vnc.x86_64                        0.3.8-8.fc11

This just showed you some the packages that match the string "vnc", you
can eliminate packages that are libraries (like libvncserver) and lookup
info on the packages.

[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.
