FWIW, after trying VNC on OSX (via Linux and Win7) I have to give Microsoft credit for their RDP implementation. It kick's VNC's ass for speed and usability -- no contest.

Still, it's nice to know how to do this on Macs.




The VNC implementation on OSX is particularly poor. It crashes and I have to manually restart it.

On Linux the VNC is an X client so one can have multiple instances running each exposing with their own graphical shell.

Does Windows RDP do that ? (I don't know).

TightVNC works the best with low speed networks, it uses JPEG encoding too.

BTW. is is also against the Windows EULA to use VNC server on it !
