Que? Better not tell any of my linux boxes that have been using it as
both a server and client for many more years than I care to remember.

brad@srv:~$ apt-cache search tightvnc | grep -i tightvnc
tightvnc-java - TightVNC java applet and command line program
ssvnc - Enhanced TightVNC viewer with SSL/SSH tunnel helper
tightvncserver - virtual network computing server software
xtightvncviewer - virtual network computing client software for X

I've snipped the remainder of your un-informed rant.

Brad.
