[Macpartners] Macpartners Digest, Vol 72, Issue 6

[Andrew Munchbach]

Hi Chris-

You can use the VNC client that is built into OS X to allow Windows/ 
Linux machines to view and control the screen of your OS X machine.   
The setting is located under:

System Preferences > Sharing > Screen Sharing

Click "Computer Settings" enable VNC and set a password.

FYI, VNC is not the most secure connection.

Best-
Andrew
