Use VNC Server for Remote Access

You can use VNC (Virtual Network Computing) to access graphical interface of the remote machines Advantage: jobs initiated in a VNC environment will not be terminated if you lose connection to the remote machine

1. Windows: TightVNC (https://www.tightvnc.com/) (you only need VNC viewer to access remote machine)
2. Linux: TightVNC (sometimes also called TigerVNC), KRDC (included in a KDE desktop environment), and many other options

2. Issue command vncserver, the a new VNC
