I love my Chromebook! Since I got it back in November, I've found a wealth of great cloud based apps. However, sometimes I wish I could have access to the software and files on my Linux desktop PC without having to sit at my desk or I don't have an acceptable free cloud based app to perform a certain task.
With this in mind, I went looking for a way to remote into my Linux desktop. Chrome Remote Desktop isn't an option because it requires someone to be sitting at the remote computer to grant access to it. If I'm working from somewhere other than home, this isn't an option. My next thought was that there’s an excellent VNC client available for Chrome from RealVNC, so why not setup a VNC server?
