 Description:
 "VNC stands for Virtual Network Computing. It is, in essence, a remote
  display system which allows you to view a computing 'desktop'
  environment not only on the machine where it is running, but from
  anywhere on the Internet and from a wide variety of machine
  architectures."
 
 Tight VNC is a modified version of VNC that offers some performance
 improvements -- local cursor handling, better compression algorithms,
 etc.
