General

EUserv provides the comfortable VNC installation for the operating system SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12. With this you are able to install SLES 12 using a graphical install wizard and adjust the installation to your liking. You will need a VNC viewer for the installation. Windows users can try UltraVNC or RealVNC for this purpose. Linux users can use Vinagre or TightVNC for instance.

• Log in to the EUserv customer center.

• After approximately 10 minutes you can connect with the server using a VNC viewer. Under Server enter your server's IP. You can find it in the customer center under Serverdata.
