vncviewer can be used as just a viewer, iits an open source project so I think there are 2 types of .tars, I think theres one for server/viewer and one for just viewer

Hhhhmmm. I got this to work no problem. So if you have VNCViewer, cant you just type in the IP of the PC you wanting to connect to?

Go have a look further back in the thread, on pages 1 & 2 there are links, as well as a link to a guide to getting it setup in Ubuntu

so then don't be lazy, download the .tar and compile the source yourself
I actually downloaded the windows version and installed it through wine, I use that... A hell of a lot easier, I hardly use it anyway
