Here's what I'd like to do, I brand new to fedora and a user of mac
os
x for the last 8 years (since OSX first came out), I've heard that
fedora is not as virus hungry as windows. I've got a windows
machine
thats 2 years old and would like to see the desktop of the pc on my
mac as well as filesharing and complete control of the headless
PC...
any good, simple instructions out there for doing this? Thank
you....
and if fedora isn't suited for this, can someone tell me? Jeff

Fedora has 2 options to share it's screen with Macs or PCs...
freenx or VNC
The client applications for freenx are available from
http://www.nomachine.org and the client applications for VNC are
available from http://www.realvnc.com/products/download.html (the
Mac
version is called something like Chicken of the VNC).
installation of freenx is something like 'yum install freenx-server'
and
the generally vnc server application is automatically installed
('yum
install vncviewer' for the client).
Instructions on configuration of freenx-server and vnc server are
available via google.
Craig
So, Craig, if I understand you correctly, all I need is the "Client
application" of either of these to screenshare on my mac? (looking at
my mac's monitor and seeing the pc)? Jeff

well - sort of...the clients are free to download for your Mac
(Chicken
of the VNC or nx-client)
The server must be setup (in the case of freenx, it must be installed
and then set up).
FreeNX is a bit slicker, faster, better. VncServer is already
installed
on your computer and all you need to do is configure it.
Craig
Ok, the magic word... configure. How do I do this? (a newbie here) J
