| explore | newbie question, when you install a vnc server on a ubuntu server, does it free up all the memory resources when you don't use it? (meaning when you don't log in via vnc)? | 14:39 |
| explore | cus i have a really old PC with low specs and i was wondering if I can free up the main memory when VNC isn't been utilized for that weekly administrative upkeep | 14:40 |
| explore | cus I just imagine that X Window and all that take up ram | 14:40 |
| explore | does it? | 14:40 |
| lotuspsychje | explore: vnc is a security risk these days, cant you do your work over ssh? | 14:41 |
| explore | can i forward vnc over ssh? | 14:51 |
| explore | i remember a long time ago it was easy to setup vnc over ssh | 14:52 |
| lotuspsychje | !vnc | explore yes | 14:52 |
| ubottu | explore yes: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 14:52 |
| explore | lotuspsychje: so back to the question of resource utilization | 14:52 |
| explore | when i am not using vnc connections, i am hoping that X window and VNC server will just swap to disk and leave the main memory alone | 14:52 |
| explore | is that the case? | 14:52 |
| explore | or will they gunk up the main memory? | 14:53 |
