VNC startup

[Romeyn Prescott]

Yes!  I assumed Mark was looking for the "full experience".  It's 
also worth noting that having logged in with ssh it is possible to 
remote-execute GUI binaries.  For example, login to your box and then 
type 'firefox' and firefox runs...on the remote box but you get a 
window on your local computer.  Everything you do with firefox 
happens on the remote computer, though, as if you were at console.
