You probably would have never thought this can be so easy now under Linux. I had long time with the other apps like normal vnc, xdmcp, etc cause they all have a session issue and the server side just could not allow you to listen on the current display screen. Ok, now let's see how we can share our current desktop to thr world.
sudo apt-get rfb vncviewer
Yes, that's all you need. if you have vncviewer already (I think most of us do), then you just need the server side rfb pkg. After apt gets it installed, then do
x0rfbserver
Easy, just put the password you need and some other settings you like, and then it will start to share your current desktop. And this is just needed for the first time. Later, you can just
x0rfbserver &>/dev/null &
Go to another box has network connectable to your rfb server, then use normal vncviewser to hook up and enjoy it... Its a very nice tool to do presentation under Linux.
