Hi, ok im new to all things Mac. I have an Xserver G5 OSX10.4. I'm wondering is it possible to remote desktop to it from my PC and how is this done
Also are similateous multiple logins possible with this version? I read rumours about something like this on Panther... not sure - again, new to the Mac world

Any help would be much much appreciated, thanks!

Welcome! Panther is the code name for 10.3, Tiger is the code name for 10.4. The latest (not yet released) version, 10.5, is also known as Leopard. VNC will do that for you and support is built right into OS X.

Apple menu > System Preferences > Sharing > Services > Apple Remote Desktop
Hit start, then click on Access Privileges. Check the box next to your account name, enable the option called "VNC viewers may control the screen with password:", and give it a decent password.

Now you can use the VNC client of your choice from any OS to connect to your Mac.
