Thanks for your pointers.. I found Chicken of the VNC to be a great control interface. Ever so easy for someone not so savvy with networking and servers.
I found this tutorial absolutely perfect:

Johannes and Brainscan both touched on a very important issue, and that is security. I graduated last year but I certainly wouldn’t have trusted my school’s cables to call up control of my computer. Know knows what they would have taken? It’s even worse now that I have to travel for my job. There I have to use internet cafes or worse. Therefore make sure that whatever software you decide to use that it is as secure as possible.

Also, during this time of property & prosperity, many lenders were utilizingâ€œ No Doc Loansâ€, â€œ Stated Income Loansâ€, ARMS, etcâ€¦ These are some of the riskiest loan programs available. Some of these were given withâ€œ good intentionsâ€ but they were not smart. The ARMs started to break when the rates began to adjust as the market was stabilizing. For instances: Lets say I took out an ARM on a 100,000 property that would adjust after 3 years- when I thought that I would be moving anyway. I paid 4% for those 3…

You don’t need to install any VNC server on your mac:
1. All you need is a VNC client on any computer and then you go the your sharing windows under system preferences and activate the Remote Desktop from the list of apps that you can share. Then open the preferences/options for Remote Desktop and check the box for “VNC Users can access this computer using this password”. Type in a password and your done.
No need to install not even the Apple Remote Desktop application.

2. Apple Remote Desktop application may have vnc capability in case someone wants to connect to other computers (non mac) via vnc.

Just for the record, probably one of the most significant differences between the built-in VNC server and Vine Server/OSXVNC is that the latter supports multiple sessions on Tiger: i.e. you can have one person sitting at one user’s login at the computer itself, and you can be VNC’d in to your desktop (like Fast User Switching) via VNC. Quite convenient, but the built-in VNC server doesn’t support it, AFAIK.

And, yes, that is one thing Windows (the expensive versions, at least) has been able do before Macs. VNC itself has been around for Mac OS X since version 10.1, if not earlier, I think.

adin:
The built-in VNC server is very, very slow, even for a LAN connection. One problem is that it uses lossless compression, and that’s not ideal for all the composited eye candy that Aqua uses. It’s almost unusable, IMO.

OSXvnc uses JPEG compression, and although JPEG compression is not good for text, in practice it performs so much faster that it’s worth the artifacting.
