Sharing a desktop

[mmkerc]

Does anyone know of a program to share desktops on the Mac? I am looking for similar functionality of Netmeeting, so I can show a keynote prenetation over the internet. I can turn my iSight camera to my screen, but thats kind of low tech.

I know I can get Apples remote desktop, but for what I am trying to do its overkill.

Mac OS X has a built in VNC server. VNC is another protocol similar to Remote Desktop or Timbuktu. You can enable it through the Access Privileges part of the Apple Remote Desktop section of the Sharing preferences. After configuring this and your firewall, anyone with a VNC viewer on any platform will be able to log in.

The only downside is that whoever logs in will also have complete control of your computer. I'm not sure if there is such thing as an observe-only VNC client.

Also, a search for "share screen" on MacUpdate shows that there are also a few third-party applications with this intended use in mind.
