Package: vncviewer Provides: rfb-client Priority: optional Version: 1.3.10-1 Source: tightvnc Architecture: __ARCH__ Maintainer: Paul A. Whittaker Section: Applications Destination: usr Depends: libjpeg62, libxaw6, libxt6, libxmu6, libxext6, libx11-6, libz1, initscript, busybox (>= 1.11.2-1), libc6 (>= 2.7-1) Description: An X11 Remote Frame Buffer (VNC) client Strictly speaking, VNC (Virtual Network Computing) is a product name, not a protocol, but it is nonetheless widely used in place of the correct but less well known term (RFB - Remote Frame Buffer). . VNC implementations are available for all major operating system families, including single-user O/Ses such as Windows 95/98/Me. It is intended primarily as a network console abstraction for administrative purposes; VNC servers are only capable of supporting multiple independent sessions when run from a superserver (inetd or similar) on Unix-like O/Ses, and at LAN speeds the RFB protocol performs poorly in comparison with ICA, RDP or X11.
