If you already have the VNC server running on your Linux computer, then all you need is one of the VNC client programs from this site:

You could simply run LinuxPPC on your computer, but it sounds like you simply want to access it from your computer running the MacOS.

1. Tenon XTen is an Xwindows server/client that will allow you to connect. Its a commercial product with support. http://www.tenon.com/products/xten/

2. eXodus is another commerical package. http://www.powerlan-usa.com/exodus/

3. Microimages client. A FREE client that works ok, I've only used this client, but has some possible font issues (it could have been my configuration or else, what do you expect for free!) http://www.microimages.com/freestuf/mix/macindex.htm

4. "MacX" - A client I haven't seen since I was in school, may not be updated and I don't have a URL with a link to the software vendor (might be worth checking out though, looks like Apple purchased this software from the original vendor). http://www.circa.ufl.edu/handouts/mi...macx/macx.html

Enjoy!
