Hey, I'm still searching the forums for answers to this. However I was wondering if anyone had previous experience in it. We're looking to setup multiple "screens" inside of a open VZ environment IE :0 :1 :2 ect.

Does anyone have any experience in doing this?

The Hardware Node is running X and KDE and the VEs need to beable to open a firefox window for example and go to a specific site and take a screen shot.

It also has to be the full desktop not just a window.

I run vncserver inside the VEs. You can run multiple servers this way if you want to also. The other way is to run X using the framebuffer, but you still have to use vnc to see the X session, so this is just extra overhead to me.

There have been a few threads on this topic. Here's one:

I'd also recommend to look at FreeNX or the commercial offering NX from NoMachines. If you've ever used Rdesktop on Windows and compared the performacen to VNC, you already know how much faster Rdesktop is. NX is to Unix what Rdesktop is to Windows.
