The Remote Desktop that RHEL4 refers to is an X module that allows
remote control of the console's X windows session. It uses the same
protocol as VNC and is bundled in RHEL's vnc-server RPM.

Fedora Core also has it. And before RHEL bundled it one could download
xvnc from sourceforge and install it to get the same effect. I haven't
checked but it's possible that RHEL and FC have simply bundled xvnc into
vnc-server.

Without this vnc module one cannot access the console's GUI, one had to
create a second desktop (on vnc port 5901) and affix that desktop to a
specific login.
