X-windows is the native display technology on UNIX and Linux systems and is designed for networked use. X-windows (X11) is recommended for most users, but VNC is useful when certain applications fail to run properly under X-windows, or when a persistent connection to the remote display is required. See Using VNC for information about VNC. Two methods are currently supported: X-windows and VNC. UNIX/Linux applications with a graphical user-interface require the use of special display software when connecting from a remote location.
