Hiya guys.
Its there a way to make my VNC startup automatically?
It's pain in the budd, esp me, cuz my Linux box in the basement and im in the 2nd floor. So, if I need to reboot, I can, but I also would like my VNC startup at the same time w/o having run down to the basement and re-enter the command over again..... :(
Any great help are welcome and appreciated.

Writting the command you use in the ~/.xinitrc or whatever you use should work.

You might want to start sshd so that you can ssh in after reboot and do anything you want remotely. Restart VNC, start downloads, compiles, etc. I guess you do that through VNC, but this would be a failsafe.

Check your distros documentation as they should have something on setting up VNC server to startup on boot. SuSE does which is done through YaST/Network Services/Network Services (inetd) and enabling VNC.

Have you verified that the VNC server is indeed running?
ps ax | grep vnc
What error messages are you getting on the client when using vncviewer?
