Exactly what VNC slient I can use on Windows?
I tried VNC viewer free (http://www.realvnc.com/products/free/4.1/winvncviewer.html), trying to connect to the locally run Pharo and the viewer fails with "uncknown rect encoding" after which Pharo image also freezes.
Is there any step-by-step tutorial how to setup VNC (remote Linux, local Windows)?

you should have settings in your VNC client.
also, you could set bpp for image.
both could help to run things faster.
