“We will use the following:

“Avahi, a zeroconf implementation to let you find your computers
in your network without worrying about IP addresses, DNS, etc.

“krfb, the KDE Remote Frame Buffer. This is a program to share
your desktop over the network.

“krdc, the KDE Remote Desktop Client, a VNC, RDP client, which
is what you use to see a desktop shared via krfb.”
