Easily Setup a Free VNC Server (TightVNC) For Remote Desktop

If you need to have your screen kept unlocked when you are remoting to it, you will need a tool like VNC. The problem is that there are many VNC versions and some of them charge for their products. We demonstrate how to install and setup TightVNC Server on an Terryaza Intel Compute Stick so we can use it for digital signage.

It's not as simple as this, you haven't explained how the remote screen remains active. I am messing about with TightVNC now and by default it closes the remote session by default. Which is not what I want.

If I want to connect to a customer computer do they need portable viewer or server?
