“Guacamole is a HTML5 and JavaScript (Ajax) VNC viewer, which
makes use of a VNC-to-XML proxy server written in Java.

“According to its developers, Guacamole is almost as responsive
as native VNC and should work in any browser supporting the HTML5
canvas tag.

“The Guacamole server requires a Java servlet container like
Apache Tomcat, while the client side requires just a Web browser
supporting HTML5 and Ajax.”
