Connect to Linux

We download the file with .tigervnc suffix from the download link given to us e.g. example.tigervnc.
To connect from Linux OS it is preferred to use tigervnc client since it allows auto adjustment to maximum monitor resolution.
- In Ubuntu/Debian based distributions we install with
```
 apt-get update; apt-get install xtigervncviewer
```
- We run xtigervncviewer and load setting file e.g. example.tigervnc

To view options and toggle full screen press F8 key. Changing keyboard language e.g. with alt-shift must be done while the vnc session is windowed, in order to be handled by local machine. To pass function keys e.g. alt-f2 to the remote vnc session, session must be run full screen.
