     1.4 +x11vnc allows to view remotely and interact with real X displays
     1.5 +(i.e. a display corresponding to a physical monitor, keyboard, and mouse)
     1.6 +with any VNC viewer.
     1.7 +In this way it plays the role for Unix/X11 that WinVNC plays for Windows.
     1.8 +
     1.9 +It has built-in SSL/TLS encryption and 2048 bit RSA authentication,
    1.10 +including VeNCrypt support; UNIX account and password login support;
    1.11 +server-side scaling; single port HTTPS/HTTP+VNC; Zeroconf service advertising;
    1.12 +and TightVNC and UltraVNC file-transfer.
    1.13 +It has also been extended to work with non-X devices:
    1.14 +natively on Mac OS X Aqua/Quartz, webcams and TV tuner capture devices,
    1.15 +and embedded Linux systems such as Qtopia Core.
    1.16 +Full IPv6 support is provided.
    1.17 +
    1.18 +It also provides an encrypted Terminal Services mode (-create, -svc, or -xdmsvc options)
    1.19 +based on Unix usernames and Unix passwords where the user does not need to memorize
    1.20 +his VNC display/port number.
    1.21 +Normally a virtual X session (Xvfb) is created for each user, but it also works with
    1.22 +X sessions on physical hardware. See the tsvnc terminal services mode of the SSVNC viewer
    1.23 +for one way to take advantage of this mode.
