Sorry I wasn't more specific. Fedora (all versions) includes Xvnc,
vncviewer, etc. To use vncviewer however you need to install X on your
laptop. So the installation won't be that small. All you need to run
is vncviewer; then all programs are run on the server. There is also a
vncviewer for windows as well. So you can connect to your fedora box
from within windows.

locate vnc
should show you that all the binaries are in /usr/bin/
