Hi
I whish to use Real VNCServer at my Mageia 8 unlicensed.
Ijust want to use the program for my own, between my own PC:s.
Its free to use VNCviewer at Mageia8.
Is this possible with Mageia8?
If so, how do I do?
When I use Raspberry Pi its free to use VNCserver.

The informations at the manufacturer homepage are clear:

VNCServer must be licensed for a desktop system. Even for private use.

With Mageia you can use following packages from our repos:
tigervnc: Viewer for the VNC remote display system
x11vnc: VNC server for the current X11 session

We also have tigervnc-server

For some instructions try upstream websites, and also Arch wiki looks good.
