Is anyone keeping a tally of the distro's, ports, spin-offs, flavors, etc., of VNC out there? The fine folks at the ORL web site where keeping track for a long time, but since the dispersal, I'm not sure where to look.
The RealVNC web site doesn't appear to contain the same information. I suppose that if there is no one doing it right now, I'll do the research and put up a "portal" of sorts. There needs to be a web site that is "everything of vnc". I just don't want to start on it if someone else plans to.
