Is it possible to use a remote desktop viewer on NIOS Linux

[Altera_Forum]

Hello ,  

I am having a project where I need to take control of a pc or a smart phone which has a VNC server using FPGA so I need to run a client from the FPGA side . Is this possible ? My kit is the de2-115 .It has USB controller chip and Ethernet connections .

Well, you can run Linux on NIOS on that board. 

So you might be able to run a VNC client too.

Is there a way to know the capabilities or features of NIOS Linux and how far can it go ?
