Either application can be used separately, but the conbination of these applications allows you to quickly and easily use and manage a Linux desktop.

xorg-x11 implements the X Window sytem on your eApps VPS. It provides a client/server interface between the display hardware (those physical things like the mouse, keyboard, and video displays) and the desktop environment, (this is typically called a window manager as it deals with how X is displayed i.e. the overall appearance). Yet X it goes beyond that and also gives the infrastructure a standardized application interface (API).

VNC RealVNC provides remote control software which lets you see and interact with desktop applications across any network. VNC will allow you to access and use the X Window system on your eApps VPS.
