This article is a tutorial to setting up VNC on various platforms and environments.

Server Side

Mac OS X

On OS X 10.4, VNC is included, and can be turned on the System Preferences panel. This is very easy, however I don't know which VNC server is included in OS X, and thus I don't which features are available. I am not sure if many of the improvements of TightVNC (compression) are available, for example.

The server uses port 5900.

Gentoo Linux

To be written.

Client Side

On Gentoo, the best is probably to emerge tightvnc.
