tigervnc-common: Virtual network computing; Common software needed by servers

 VNC stands for Virtual Network Computing. It is, in essence, a remote display
 system that allows you to view a computing `desktop' environment not only on
 the machine where it is running but from anywhere on the Internet and from a
 wide variety of machine architectures. For this purpose, it implements a
 client/server model.
 .
 This package provides the common infrastructure for the
 tigervnc-scraping-server and the tigervnc-standalone-server packages and the
 vncconfig tool, which should run in the `desktop' environment served by the
 VNC server.

tigervnc-scraping-server: Virtual network computing server performing X screen scraping

 VNC stands for Virtual Network Computing. It is, in essence, a remote display
 system that allows you to view a computing `desktop' environment not only on
 the machine where it is running but from anywhere on the Internet and from a
 wide variety of machine architectures. For this purpose, it implements a
 client/server model.
 .
 This package provides a VNC server that perform screen scraping of an already
 running X server to provide its VNC desktop. The VNC desktop can be viewed
 by any VNC viewer even on other operating systems.
 .
 Note: If you only want to scrape your local X11 server, you should consider
 the tigervnc-xorg-extension package. This package provides the vnc extension
 for your local X11 server. The usage of this extension is more efficient
 than a scraping vnc server.

tigervnc-standalone-server: Standalone virtual network computing server

 VNC stands for Virtual Network Computing. It is, in essence, a remote display
 system that allows you to view a computing `desktop' environment not only on
 the machine where it is running but from anywhere on the Internet and from a
 wide variety of machine architectures. For this purpose, it implements a
 client/server model.
 .
 This package provides a standalone VNC server to which clients can connect.
 The server generates a display that can be viewed with a vncviewer.
 .
 Note: This server does not need a display. You need a VNC viewer to see
 something. This viewer may also be on a computer running other operating
 systems.

tigervnc-tools: Virtual network computing; Tools for both clients and servers

 VNC stands for Virtual Network Computing. It is, in essence, a remote display
 system that allows you to view a computing `desktop' environment not only on
 the machine where it is running but from anywhere on the Internet and from a
 wide variety of machine architectures. For this purpose, it implements a
 client/server model.
 .
 This package provides the vncpasswd tool.

tigervnc-viewer: Virtual network computing client for X

 VNC stands for Virtual Network Computing. It is, in essence, a remote display
 system that allows you to view a computing `desktop' environment not only on
 the machine where it is running but from anywhere on the Internet and from a
 wide variety of machine architectures. For this purpose, it implements a
 client/server model.
 .
 This package provides a VNC client for X. With this you can connect to a
 VNC server and display its content. There are VNC servers available for other
 operating systems.

tigervnc-xorg-extension: Virtual network computing X server extension

 VNC stands for Virtual Network Computing. It is, in essence, a remote display
 system that allows you to view a computing `desktop' environment not only on
 the machine where it is running but from anywhere on the Internet and from a
 wide variety of machine architectures. For this purpose, it implements a
 client/server model.
 .
 This package contains an X server connector so VNC clients can connect to your
 local X desktop directly.
