I have a MBP with Lion on it where the screen recently **** itself (external monitor still works), now I don't really need this laptop to become a desktop, so my idea with it is to hide it in my data rack and act as an iTunes server with a NAS I will soon get (for ATV), to save my iMac being on 24/7.

Thing is, I don't want to buy a monitor for it, why should I when I can just remote into it and do whatever I need to there. Remote desktop PC->PC is easy and built into the OS. Is there a method for Mac Lion? Quick goggeling wasn't successful...

Cheerio
 
Wow nice quick reply thanks!
It got me on the right track to find this http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.7/en/mh11848.html its for Lion. Probably the same method for other versions but yep.

It's the same method, thus I didn't bother to search for a Lion specific one.

Screen Sharing is quite useful, especially when you screen share onto a Mac running a Virtual Machine, at least for me, that is strange, to access "two" computers at once. ;)
