Anyone use Rasberry Pi as a VNC client for controlling a mac mini or similar?

I have an extra one lying around, and it occurred to me it should be able to do this. In practice, though, I am wondering if it is good enough?

Dear Scott,

 

First of all, it is a pleasure share my experience with you. I read so many blogs from you.

Currently I use the native VNC server from OSx. You just activate this in Settings.

 

Second I use the iTeleport to access the macintosh via iDevice (Iphone and Ipad).

the last but not the least, I just prompt the in the safari vnc://server.local.

 

I do not see nothing in different to access the mac using a Raspberry PI.

 

Just some tip: put a HDMI Emulator to get more performance.

 

Regards Ohasi

Thanks. I will give it a try.

Yep- unless ypu are talking about flowing high res video and audio over the VNC connection of course. Perfectly adequate for remote control though.
