RealVNC was the first "fork" from the original Cambridge AT&T labs when 
they folded IIRC.

TightVNC - as it's name suggests - has had some speed improvements made 
and may be a slightly more efficient codebase.

Both essentially identical and interoperable. TightVNC originally 
optimised for low bandwidth.
