Chicken of the VNC is a fast, lightweight 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. Chicken features automatic server discovery via Rendezvous; an auto-scrolling full-screen mode; keychain integration; CPU performance throttling; smart unicode keybindings; mouse button emulation and native multibutton support; tons of supported transfer encodings including Tight and ZLib; and customizable connection profiles.

    Slightly odd interface (and icon!) but it works well and is an essential part of my toolkit for managing remote systems

    I use Chicken of the VNC with Veency on my jailbroken iPhone so that I can type SMS messages more quickly with my MacBook Pro's keyboard. I love it and find it works quite well for that purpose! I like the humor of the the icon.

    I have a love/hate relationship with Chicken of the VNC. On one hand, it's the most reliable and fast VNC clients I've ever used. It even supports Bonjour network discovery. On the other hand, the icon could use a lot of help, and my cursor is a dot. Alas, it doesn't have a scaling feature, so if you're using a bigger screen than you're currently looking at, you'll end up panning around.

    Utilizo COTVNCpara conectarme graficamente a varios servidores Linux, aun cuando trabaja decentemente, le faltan características o que fucnionen bien las que sí tiene (copiar texto entre el host y el servidor no deberia ser un problema).

    Use COTVNC for remote connections with Vine Server to host connections.
