How do i connect to redhat linux server by using vncviewer even user is logged out?

Q. I successfully connect to the redhat linux server by using 3rd parties vncviewer. But when the user (root) user is logged out, i am unable to establish the connection again! Why, can anyone helps on this? Because i've tried to search on the web, cant find the solution... thanks a lot....
But when the user is logged out, it cant be connected, how?

A. To start the server on the linux box, as the user type:
$ vncserver
It will come back with something like "started server on localhost:1" (I can't remember the exact syntax - the bit you are interested in is the :1)
To connect to this from another computer (running windoze, linux or any other client) you must use the :1 bit too, ie connect to:
machinename:1
Because linux is a true multiuser environment you are able to launch multiple desktops, :1, :2, :3 etc. These go over ports 5901, 5902, 5903 etc. Windoze (not being multiuser) does not allow you to start a new desktop for a VNC session and only allows you the one which goes over port 5900 and is machinename:0

How can I have both Microsoft Windows XP Professional and RedHat Linux on my computer?
Q. I have Microsoft Windows Xp professinal on my computer and I want to install RedHat Linux. I don't want to miss Windows or any other of my informations. The problem is that GRUB( Linux's default boot loader) can't can't understand that I have Windows Xp on my computer. So if I install Linux on my computer I'll miss Windows. If you know a way, please tell me.

Change default boot to windows 7 instead of redhat Linux?
Q. I partitioned a small portion of my laptops hard drive to install redhat Linux, and when I start up my computer it is defaulting to Linux. How do I change this to windows 7?

A. You need to edit the GRUB configuration file. How to do this depends on whether you're using GRUB or GRUB2. If you actually installed RedHat Linux, which was discontinued in 2003, then you'd definitely be using GRUB. I think the recent versions of RedHat Enterprise Linux also still use GRUB. The link below should provide the information you need.

That said, why RedHat? RedHat Linux was discontinued in 2003, and there's little reason to purchase RHEL unless you're a business and need the support services. Fedora is essentially the same as RHEL, is sponsored by RedHat, and is free.
