I'm also giving FreeRDP a show via Macports but compiling on the G4 is a lengthly process. The image quality is the the worst of the bunch but I you are looking for a fast browsing experience for a bit of work / gmail etc its the best option I could find. It was the most responsive in terms on input lag. I also tried Teamviewer 7 in LAN connection only mode. Get your free copy of TightVNC Try Remote Ripple, our modern VNC client for PC, Mac, iPhone, iPad and Android (free to use). Launch the software, click Add Desktop, add the IP address under PC Name, then Save. Mac: Start by installing the Microsoft Remote Desktop software from the App Store. Input the IP address of your Ubuntu computer and click Connect. This is on a 1GHz Powerbook G4 - haven't tried on the 1.8GHz PowerMac yet. Look for the Remote Desktop Connection app and click Open. eg scrolling is laggy but it works decently. The built in screen sharing in OSX only seems to work about 1/10 times connection to the built in VNC server on an Unraid VM - bit odd - I get the same behaviour from my Mojave MacBook Air as the PPC Mac so seems to be a screen sharing / Unraid issue.Ĭhicken of the VNC works well on PPC and does produce a nice clean image - has a few performance issues. TSClientX which is a 3rd party PPC RDP client does work but is a little slower than I'd hoped. Tried all the group policy edits that I could find online but can't get past the login screen. Seeking a Back to My Mac alternative Screens does the job insanely well and offers even more features Screens is a powerful VNC client app that lets you. The latest version of RDP for PPC (2.0) won't connect to 7 or 10.

Okay so update for anyone else who wants to try this.
