Currently, I hv to run VNC to remotely access my linux server. Is there anyway I can telnet to the linux server instead of using VNC? If yes, how do I configure it? Thanks...
 
Telnet is not recomended for security reasons, it sends username/password in clear text!
If you need remote commandline access, then ssh is what you'r looking for.
You need to install it on your RH-server, then you can use
ssh from a Linux/unix PC to access it, or use a Windows-app
like Putty from a Win-PC.
