I'm away from my computer so I could probably tell you more tomorrow.

I'm using tightvnc

http://elinux.org/RPi_VNC_Server

You can set it up so you can use "screen sharing" on Mac to have your rip desktop on your Mac.

That's what I do. It's different than what millers doing with x-forwarding.

Also with this you can get the rpi to show up in your finder side bar.

Hope that helps!

Hello Pi people, I just got one of these to mess with, getting it to run the OS was very simple, need help with other stuff.

What do you recommend for remote desktopping (controlling the Pi via a laptop, by having the laptop's keyboard/trackpad as input and getting the screen to show what's going on).

I know there's something called VNC around, but it seems to come in different softwares, which one(s) have you been using. Or, better put, just about anyone works?

I got a macbook air I'd like to use that way, by the way, so I need to run from a MAC OS system.

To see if I got this straight, all the hardware you need to plug them together is a crossover ethernet cable, right?

That way, can the Pi also feed from the internet I'm getting into my macbook air vi wi-fi while it's being remotely controlled by the same laptop via the same cable?

I guess that's it for now.

I hope we can have sometime soon a nice page with several info on how to run Pd in the Pi in many ways. I could help on writting this kind of tutorial

Cheers
