Hi there, I have a question that I am not sure what to look up for it, but basically I would like to be able to connect from my laptop when I'm at school to my desktop that is at home they are both running fedora, the thing is I don't know how or what to do can anyone help?
Thank you in advance.
Hi: It will depend on what you want to do. For most of the cases just simply enabling ssh and publishing to internet (NAT in your house router) should be enough.

vino and remmina for secure remote desktop, or whatever you wanna use thanks to ssh forwarding (eg. KDE Krfb/Krdc: 1st configure krfb to accept auto connection with password on your remote machine, then from your laptop 'ssh -nNT -L 5900:localhost:5900 user@host', connect krdc to localhost:5900)
You have 3 broad options.
1 - ssh and forwarding single applications. More secure then VNC.
ssh -X user@your_ip_address
you can use Xming on windows if you need a X server.
2 - Freenx - FreeNX is a secure and fast VNC solution (faster then VNC over ssh).

3 - Port forward. If for example you want to use a web browser, you can port forward over ssh.

So a better question is what are you wanting to do exactly ?
I am working on a web application project and I have a database and apache running on the desktop so instead of reinstalling everything on my laptop I just want to access them from when I am away from home through the laptop
do you just want to connect to apache ? If so port forward. ssh for editing files or managing database, you probably do not need VNC at all.
