+====== Virtual Desktop ======
+We used to use the x2go client (found here for verbosity - https://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/download:start) - however, after installing Rocky9, this appear to be having issues.
+We now use VNC, which requires some set up by root (Zach or Jon).
+=== VNC ===
+If you want a virtual desktop, a root user (Zach or Jon) will have to set this up for you.
+To do so, we will have to edit /etc/tigervnc/vncserver.users with your user and specific port. And then will have to start a system process as follows:
+<code>
+systemctl start vncserver@:#
+systemctl enable vncserver@:#
+</code>
+Where # is the number assigned to you by the root user who edited /etc/tigervnc/vncserver.users.
+Once this is set up, you the user will want to download RealVNC Viewer found here: https://www.realvnc.com/en/connect/download/viewer/?lai_vid=gxlXMBXALCLQ&lai_sr=15-19&lai_sl=l&lai_p=1&lai_na=611310
+Then, you'll want to connect to the following address
+<code>
+astronomy.nmsu.edu:59##
+</code>
+Where ## is the two digit number assigned to you. (If it is "4" you'll use "5904", if its "10" you'll use "5910")
+</code>
