Some find the built-in VNC view in Mac OS X to be a bit slow or under-featured. Here are some other recommended clients, from “best/fastest” to worst. (A rough generalization based on IRC converstations.)
- ARD – Apple Remote Desktop. If you have this, try it first. It’s similar to Windows’ Remote Desktop Protocol where it sends Quartz objects instead of window rasters/graphics. But it’s not free and probably not worth it unless you are an admin or rely on remote controlling a Mac daily.
- JollysFastVNC
- VNCthing (old, hard to find, Branes recommends as faster than JollysFast)
- TigerVNC ?
- Chicken of the VNC (works but nothing special) – now just called Chicken
