I know it's obvious for most 'nix folks, but I dont bash, sudo, or gedit very much.......
I have an old(er) desktop machine I built a few years ago. Nothing special
I decided to *gasp* BUY the latest copy of Zorin 12 a few months ago.
Not doing anything with it, I decided to try it on the desktop. It went on fine, found all the bells and whistles.
"Great!" I thought to myself......followed by "uhhhhh....what now?"
I decided it would be kinda cool if I could remote in to it via my Windows lappy here.
I looked around the interwebs and found an app called TigerVNC that has both 'nix and Windoze versions. That should allow me to remote in and monkey around on the Zorin box
Here's where I get lost - I downloaded the Ubuntu version of TigerVNC. I'm not looking at it right now, but I think it's a .tar or .tar.gz file
I'm not sure how to install it! I double click it, and it just kinda 'unzips' it so I can see all the files........
Then I saw something on the tubes about 'synaptics installer', so I tried that, but I'm lost at what to do - drag the file into the synaptics window? Right clicking on the file has a few options, but none of them seemed to work.
Maybe I need to go into Terminal and sudo appget or whatever it's called?
Thx in advance
