Remote desktop mac OSX to Ubuntu

There is a good program (free) for remote connections between mac OSX and Ubuntu. It is called Chicken of the VNC - in my case I needed to remote into an Ubuntu (9.04) desktop from my mac.

First step - allow remote access on the Ubuntu machine

Install Chicken of the VNC

• download from http://sourceforge.net/projects/cotvnc/
• install the dmg file
• then drag the Chicken into your Applications folder

Then open the program and type in the IP address of the machine you wish to connect to.
Done - you are now remoted!
