yes, but since connections aren't 100% effective it'll lag. But VNC can be though of as you controlling a robot sitting in front of another computer.

If you're asking if you want a VNC server and client for Linux, I would use TightVNC.

#2: What's a good client/server for linux? I hope configurations isn't overwhelming. Maybe the next question is rather early to ask, how would I tell it which x session to connect to on the machine that's running the vnc server? Would it be manual editing that I need to do in a .conf file somewhere in etc is there a nice/nifty little gui frontend to it? Okay, I asked way too many questions. lol

Cool intro. This leads me to venture a series of questions. #1: Suppose a linux box with beryl and vnc running would the vnc viewer be able to use beryl normally?

Chicken of the VNC isn't as good as most vnc for win or ppc that i have tryed, but it is the best for osx, most othere wasn't able to link up with ultra vnc or go full screen.

There is also a Vine client for VNC OS X but it's not free. It does, however, have features Chicken of the VNC is missing such as file transfer and cut & paste. It is also available from RedStoneSoftware.
