Pretty new convert myself so lets wait for someone with more experience to give you the final word... but until then.
Its not as nice as RDP. I initially even had problems with downloaded VNC clients until I realized that a VNC client came with the operating system. It runs much better than Chicken and uVNC. Never tried apple's remote desktop 3. I assume it still uses the built in VNC but I have no idea.
From safari just type vnc:// and hit enter you can then build a connection profile and save it. Give it a try and hopefully someone with more experience can chime in.
