Comment(by wdn@…):

 I am new to Macs with most of my experience in the Linux environment.  So
 I do
 not know how well the vnc server built into OS X works for my needs.  Nor
 do I
 know how to access it.  Before downloading tigervnc via Macports, I
 checked to
 see if vncserver and vncviewer were available in my path.  Since I did not
 find
 them, I assumed vnc must be an add on via Macports or one of the other
 package
 environments.  There were several versions of vnc available through
 Macports
 including cots, realvnc, tigervnc and tightvnc.  I chose tigervnc because
 it is
 what is used in Fedora linux distros and I will be interacting with
 several
 linux systems via my Mac.  But perhaps tightvnc or realvnc would work as
 well.
 I'm not sure.  I use tightvnc on a Windows laptop and that seems to work
 well.

 Do you have any advice on how to proceed?  It does not look like a fix for
 tigervnc will happen very quickly.

 Thanks,

 Dave
