You can have Gnome, KDE, Flux or Blackbox as GUI options installed on the same OS. And you can switch around as you please upon setting the preferred desktop and log\/in again. When you are viewing the remote system through VNC, you can do exactly the same thing — you can define what type of GUI you want to see as you launch your preferred VNC viewer client:<\/p>\n \nEdit<\/p>\n 1 <\/div><\/td> \/home\/_vnc_user_name_\/.vnc\/xstartup<\/div><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/div>\n as such:<\/p>\n 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 <\/div><\/td> #!\/bin\/sh \n \n# Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop: \n# unset SESSION_MANAGER \n# exec \/etc\/X11\/xinit\/xinitrc \n \n[ -x \/etc\/vnc\/xstartup ] && exec \/etc\/vnc\/xstartup \n[ -r $HOME\/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME\/.Xresources \nxsetroot -solid grey \nvncconfig -iconic & \nxterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" & \n#xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" -e .\/menu & \n#twm & \n#fluxbox & \ngnome-session & \n#startkde &<\/div><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n Noticed I commented out (#) some desktop GUI options at the bottom except Gnome.
