TigerVNC
TigerVNC is a high-performance, platform-neutral implementation of VNC
(Virtual Network Computing), a client/server application that allows
users to launch and interact with graphical applications on remote
machines. TigerVNC provides the levels of performance necessary to run
3D and video applications, and it attempts to maintain a common look
and feel and re-use components, where possible, across the various
platforms that it supports. TigerVNC also provides extensions for
advanced authentication methods and TLS encryption.
History
