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

[me.grimm]

Off the top of my head

System prefs -> sharing

I think it's Internet sharing

Share your Macs wifi -> Ethernet

That should work for cable connect.

I've been using this mini edimax wifi dongle and having it auto connect on boot to my local network. Then doing the "share screen" vnc thing...

Have fun!!
