Description-en: Enhanced TightVNC viewer with SSL/SSH tunnel helper
VNC stands for Virtual Network Computing. It is, in essence, a remote
display system which 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.
.
SSVNC is two things:
.
* An enhanced version of the TightVNC client with support for more
encodings and color modes, support for x11vnc and UltraVNC
extensions, dynamic screen resizing, an improved popup menu, etc.
.
* A GUI that helps set up an SSL (using stunnel) or SSH tunnel to
connect to the VNC server through, as well as forwarding of ports for
audio (esound/aRts), SMB, CUPS etc.
