I am new to Macs with most of my experience in the Linux environment. So I do not know how well the vnc server built into OS X works for my needs. Nor do I know how to access it. [snip]
The VNC server in OS X can be turned on by opening System Preferences, going to Sharing, turning on Screen Sharing, then clicking Computer Settings and enabling the checkbox "VNC viewers may control screen with password" and entering a password. The VNC client in OS X can be accessed by typing a vnc:// URL into a web browser, or giving such a URL to the `open` command in the Terminal, or by manually launching /System/Library/CoreServices/Screen Sharing.app. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/32326#comment:10> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
