Chicken of the VNC is a VNC client for Mac OS X. A VNC client allows one to display and interact with a remote computer screen. In other words, you can use Chicken of the VNC to interact with a remote computer as though it's right next to you.
Is it just me that finds Chicken of the VNC to be unbearably slow and laggy, even when accessing local servers? I've resorted to installing "tightvnc" with fink and running that under X11. Am I missing something?
Opinions:
Miserable (absolutely unusable) performance on Leopard <-> Ubuntu Hardy Heron over gigabit ethernet. Had much better luck with JollysFastVNC.
Where did the developer go?
switched to Jolly's Fast VNC, which is, as you'd expect, faster.
Attempting to connect to my aunt's Windows XP Toshiba with this made her computer crash!

Amusing name/icon and does what it says on the tin.
The only issue I have is that when it doesn't connect there's no way to cancel the connection, you have to wait until it fails which can take a while
Simply the best of the breed.
Definitely great but would be truly brilliant if it was capable of file transfers with UltraVNC servers (et al?).
Fantastic little app.
Does what it says on the tin and is free to boot.
