“VNC stands for Virtual Network Computing. It is remote control
software which allows you to view and interact with one computer
(the ‘server’) using a simple program (the ‘viewer’) on another
computer anywhere on the Internet. The two computers don’t even
have to be the same type, so for example you can use VNC to view an
office Linux machine on your Windows PC at home. VNC is freely and
publicly available and is in widespread active use by millions
throughout industry, academia and privately.
