[DM-MUG] Screen Sharing under Tiger (10.4) & earlier

[Thorgrim]

I have been using VNC (Virtual Network Computing) for several years.

There are 2 parts:

1)  Server:  This is the part that runs on the computer whose screen  
you want to share

A good and free server can be found at Redstone Software

They even have versions for OS 9 which I have successfully running on  
an old Power Computing machine (Mac clone) using Mac OS 8.6.


2) Client: This is the application that allows to to connect and use  
another machine.

The one I use is "Chicken of the VNC", it is also free.

The are security issues if you are sharing your Mac on the internet.   
I am currently only using it to monitor machine on my local network  
but it can be used for much more than that.

There are VNC servers for every OS.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vnc for more information on VNC itself.
