The Shell and the Editor

Just another shuffling post...getting used to the UNIX way. OK, so I wanted to remote in to the UNIX laptop from any other computer on my network, PC or MAC. Due diligence indicates that the easiest way was to install TightVNC server on the UNIX box and any viewer on the clients.

Installed TightVNC from one of the packages on the FreeBSD 7.1 CD. One caveat: The installation will stop and ask for a Diablo Caffe file. I followed the instructions outlined in the error message and the rest of the installation was uneventful.

For detailed help on the installation and configuration of the TightVNC server, check out this great tutorial over on FreeBSD Diary.
