It will tell you that it's putting stuff in the home directory of that user and will by default start an x server on :1. Then use VNC Client on the remote machine to connect to your server on port 1.</div><div><br></div></div></blockquote>That's a typo. The command is: vncserver</div><div><br></div></body></html>
