vncserver starts Xvnc on the remote host. Its sort of a headless or
X-server. By that I mean it looks like an Xserver to programs on the
remote host. You usually start it by logging in to the remote host,
running the 'vncserver' command and logging out again.

Xvnc talks to a program on your PC, which can be running Windows, Linux,
OS X.... This program displays a desktop for the remote machine and
passes keystrokes and mouse input back to Xvnc. The client program can
be either vncviewer, if you've installed it, or an applet running in
your web browser.
