Fedora provides remote desktop access. This provides two extremely useful features. Firstly it enables you or another person to view and interact with your desktop environment from another computer system either on the same network or over the internet. This is useful if you need to work on your computer when you are away from your desk such as while traveling or even sitting in a Wi-Fi enabled coffee shop. It is also useful in situations where a co-worker or IT support technician needs access to your desktop to resolve a problem.

The next step in setting up remote desktop access is to activate it and define some basic security settings. These settings are configured in the Remote Desktop Preferences dialog. To access this dialog, open the desktop ''System'' menu and select ''Preferences'' followed by ''Remote Desktop''. When selected the following window will appear:

Finally, reconnect from the remote system. The full desktop should now appear in the VNC viewer or Vinagre window.
