I am not sure if this should go here or in the N00b HQ.

I am running a Debian box with sarge (3.1). I would like to have it stashed away in my closet and access it via VNC. I have a vnc server program installed, x11vnc, I was just wondering how to make it start up at boot time, kind of like a service. Also, is x11vnc a good program that would allow me to access all parts of the computer, or would you recommend another VNC server?

Thanks A Lot!

On Debian I usually use this procedure if I need something to run at startup.

throw it in your /etc/rc.d/rc.local and it will run at boot.
