Seems to work very well over my local LAN. Using it now to post this message. Seems really funny seeing OS X running full screen on my IBM ThinkPad ;o)
It's not the first server. It's the second one to my knowledge. There was another one that was for use only in the terminal, and was a vnc xwindows server. It's still on versiontracker if you want to check it out. This one is different, though, seeing as how it controls osx instead of xwindows now.
This is 2nd server for a "mac" first one was for Mac OS Classic and 2nd one is for Mac OS X .
That vnc Xwindows server is not a vnc server for vnc viewer client.. it requires Xwindows client to connect to it. not what we wanted..
This is so cool. I can use OS X on any windows machine in the university. Matrix-style 'knock knock, follow the white rabbit' hilarities will ensue :-)
This thing is just freakin awsome!!! I've been craving this app for X since I left my good 'ol X-term back at school. And if this is just the first release. It only gets BETTER after this! GOD DAMN!
Is there an OS X version of the viewer?
Yeah. VNCDimension. Its on versiontracker.
Classic had more than one VNC server.... I can think of two myself one is from AT&T and the other can be found at http://www.chromatix.uklinux.net/vnc/
How does it feel to be SO wrong... ok off by one... but over time that is a HUGE error! I am kidding about that last line, have a great day all.
