- VNC - remote graphic desktop
- how VNC works: vncserver, vncviewer
- setting up your account to use VNC
- starting vncserver
- connecting to your vnc session
- killing your vnc session
- tunneling VNC through ssh using port forwarding
- Remote graphic interface to COE (VNC)
- login using ssh -> vncserver -> vncviewer
- Set

people could try the same dataset as was used in the blast
