From Ubuntu, "Back to my Mac"

  • 772

I have a Mac at home, and run Ubuntu at work. I'd like to be able to connect to my Mac in a similar way to how I had when I worked on a Mac. I have MobileMe so I used Back to My Mac (Apple's version to dynamic DNS) to connect and Screen Sharing (VNC) to access the screen.

My question is, what's the best way to recreate this setup so that I can do the same actions from Ubuntu?

Thank you.

    There are various dynamic dns services, of which dyndns is probably the most well known. The repos have a few packages to automatically update your dyndns for you if your IP changes: try the `dyndns' package.

  3. this is an old question, but why don't you try HIP for Linux [1]. You can run it together with miredo daemon [2] to support NAT traversal. Binaries for Ubuntu are available at the hipl.hiit.fi site.
