Hi,
UltraVNC and ChunkVNC have the same scope? Which are the differences? Why should I install one rather the other in my Windows pc?
Thanks,
Alex

UltraVNC vs ChunkVNC
Re: UltraVNC vs ChunkVNC
ChunkVNC is a set of scripts wrapped around UltraVNC client and server. Its only purpose is to make it easier to set up ad hoc connections via an UltraVNC repeater.
It thus presents a much simpler interface, with much fewer things to set up. But it also happens to assume that you will run an UltraVNC repeater, which is not typically used in normal point-to-point VNC connections. It does ONLY the "reverse VNC connections" where the VNC server machine makes an outbound connection.
You would install regular UltraVNC if you want to control all aspects of your VNC connections, or if you have no wish to run a repeater.
You would install ChunkVNC if you're willing to run a repeater and you have the need for multiple connections from random places (rather than one or two fixed locations).
ChunkVNC was developed to work much like the UltraVNC SC project. So you can read up on that as well.
