Setting up a vnc server on my ppc mac?

[longboarder]

So I currently have a setup where I can control my laptop remotely but itd be really nice to also be able to access my ppc mac as well. Is there a way I can set up a vnc server on it? my computer is a g3 400mhz 1gb ram running 10.4
Thanks in advance,

Vine Server (OSXvnc)

Download Vine Server (OSXvnc) for free. Vine Server(OSXvnc) is a robust, full-featured VNC server for MacOS X. It allows VNC clients to remotely view or control the machine.

You can use either the stock tools or an app. If you use stock tools then what you want is inside the Sharing Pane in System Preferences. Turn on screen sharing.

The problem with the stock tool is that it only works if you're logged in. So, you'd need to make single user login mode with automatic login active in case you ever reboot.

I use OS X VNC, but it's a bit hard to find now. Unfortunately, at the moment I do not have access to it so can't post it up. Others may have a link or a different suggestion. OS X VNC is now called Vine Server though so maybe you can track it down that way.

The difference is that the app allows you to install a kext that automatically starts the VNC server as the Mac boots. It means you have access to the end of the boot sequence and the login screen.

EDIT: There you go, @Amethyst1 has the link.

I believe it is only included in Tiger Server, but not the client edition. Leopard was the first client edition to include it.

You need to install a VNC viewer such as TigerVNC (search for tigervnc-viewer in Synaptic). Afterwards, launch it, enter your Mac's IP and the password you set in VineServer and off you go.
