Installing Gnome and VNC Remote Desktop on Centos VPS
After writing a how-to on installing Gnome and VNC server on Ubuntu Linux, this time I blog on the same tutorial but now I use Centos 5.3 Linux.
It’s almost similar with Ubuntu, but on Centos we use YUM instead of apt-get command. Both package managers have its own fans, nevertheless both yum and apt-get deliver an easy to use package installer.
To read the how-to please go to: http://www.talk.web.id/2009/08/installing-vnc-remote-desktop-on-centos-vps/ as I write it for Talk Web ID. If you like the tutorial or have questions, please write on the comment box.

did you run ‘vncpasswd’ command as ‘vncuser’ account?
after creating the ‘vncuser’ account you have to login as ‘vncuser’ by execute command:
su – vncuser
then run ‘vncpasswd’
it should create the /home/vncuser/.vnc directory
