[PD] remote desktop on the Pi and other questions about it

[Alexandre Torres Porres]

nice, that's one of the things that came uo, and apparently there's a nica
guide on it:
http://4dc5.com/2012/06/12/setting-up-vnc-on-raspberry-pi-for-mac-access/

that should do, right? If the link above is very helpful, we could
reference it in the Pd site. This was very helpful too to install it
http://lifehacker.com/5976912/a-beginners-guide-to-diying-with-the-raspberry-pi

I have the pi, but no way to plug it in with monitors, ethernet, mouse and
keyboard yet, tomorrow I'll properly try it out.

Now, what about still being able to use the internet on the Pi while
connected to the laptop? Can it feed through the same cable, or do I need
to have some wi-fi receptor in the USB?

How do you do it Mark?

Cheers
Alex
