Ubuntu 9.10 Netbook remix and remote desktop (VNC)

Wow, this really shouldn't have been as hard to find as it was. As anyone trying to set up Ubuntu 9.10 NBR for remote desktop (VNC) noticed, the option has been removed in this edition. Although there are many tutorials online on how to set up a VNC server in ubuntu the easiest option is obviously to turn on the "Remote Desktop" feature that comes bundled with other versions of Ubuntu, yes it is just a VNC server but it has some tweeks and a GUI that make it a better option for some so here's the easiest way of getting that working. The remote desktop package for ubuntu is called vino so either pull up synaptic or do a quick
sudo apt-get install vino
in the command line and you should be all set.
