Why use Vine Server when Apple's Remote Desktop does the same thing (is VNC) and is a feature of OS X Tiger? I use TightVNC to connect to
A couple of reasons why I use Vine Server instead of ARD's bundled VNC server: - ARD doesn't support 8 or 16 bit color depth unless connected to Apple's paid ARD client/mgr - Vine Server starts after reboot allowing complete remote graphical control - Vine Server will run multiple desktop sessions after users login using fast switching I remotely manage Macs using command-line but sometimes need to login graphically. Running VNC at 24-bit color over a VPN tunnel is a disaster, however it works fine at 16-bit color but by default the bundled ARD VNC server will not allow connections at lower color depths. BB
