 +Using x11vnc \\
 +
 +Install package. \\
 +Ssh into remote system using a PuTTY window. \\
 +Start service with x11vnc -display :0 \\
 +x11vnc -storepasswd (set password one time, accept default location) \\
 +x11vnc -rfbauth /path/to/password/file \\
 +Use TightVNC or TigerVNC viewer to connect to remote system.

 +<code>
 +$ x11vnc -display :0 -clip 1366x700+0+0 -rfbauth /path/to/passwd_file
 +$ x11vnc -display :0 -scale 1366x768 -rfbauth /path/to/passwd_file
