Hi,

I have a ubuntu 64 bit OS setup on my desktop, and a leopard on my laptop. I've been trying to setup a remote desktop login so I can use some of the OSX softwares from ubuntu and have yet to succeed.
Would anyone please give me some help on how I can do this?Thanks in advance

you should be able to turn on screen sharing in Leopard, and control OSX via VNC.

I also like this tool:
www.logmein.com

Thx for the reply.
I've been trying to use just the default Remote Management from leopard, and the Terminal Server Client from ubuntu.
However, when I try to connect with Terminal Server Client, it prompts me with a password field that I can't type anything in. Is this a bug or ?

Remote Management is not the same as screen sharing.

I would think you could put a password in so I don't know the problem there.
