Remote Desktop software

I always tunnel VNC over SSH, although the UNIX version of TightVnc which sahirh has mentioned does this automatically.

Will Tightvnc work with my Mac? I would assume it does. The second question is how well does it work with the Macs.

No there isn't a MAC version, although if you want to use your MAC as a viewer and not a server, you could use the Java viewer. You could also try OSXvnc .

OSXvnc does work pretty well. However, the main drawback at the moment is lack of sensible interface for the preferences (you actually have to manually set up the password file! and how do you limit the choice of encodings at the server end? [but that's rarely needed since many/all? viewers allow that] The GUI for setting prefs does not really exist. But once configured, it does appear to do the job. Another downside is that it only allows sharing of the main screen. Also, the cursor is not sent from the server (not a problem with a decent connection, but seeing the remote cursor can be a useful indicator of what's happening under a slower connection).

So I guess OSXvnc will just have to do for the Mac.
