Accessing a Linux box in GUI mode

Here is how to setup a Linux system that would allow you to access it from a remote system using VNC client

A.       Login to the Linux box & switch to root user. Now, install and configure
           the packages stated below;

1.          yum groupinstall "Desktop"

2.         yum install xorg-x11-fonts-100dpi.noarch xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-100dpi.noarch
            xorg-x11-fonts-misc.noarch xorg-x11-fonts-Type1.noarch tigervnc-server

3.         Modify the /etc/inittab to set runlevel 5 (thus, the system would run
            in full GUI mode)

4.         Now, configure vnc password with the command "vncpasswd"

5.         Start the vncserver by running the command "vncserver"


B.       On the client system install VNC-Viewer-XXX from the link
           http://www.realvnc.com/download/viewer/

C.       Start the VNC-Viewer client and connect to the Linux box ( :5901 
           as the VNC Server value)

Note:    Just in case you are not able to access the System, check the iptables rules 
             (firewall) and allow the port 5901 to be accessed from outside.
