 The instructions above are for a Linux machine with Remmina installed, but you can do the same from a tightVNC command line (cli or GUI, Windows or Unix). You can also access using other tools like krdc.
+===== Windows to OS X =====
+Microsoft Windows has various third party VNC programs available. I have found tightVNC to be the best for my purposes. Also, check out the paid product UltraVNC.
+  - On OS X machine, follow directions above
+  - On Windows Machine
+    - Install tightVNC (https://tightvnc.com/)
+    - Create connection
+===== Linux from OS/X =====
+  - Start and run a VNC server on the Linux machine. Be sure to set a password
+  - From MAC, go to Finder, select Connect to Server, enter URL
+    - vnc://server_ip:5900
+  - Alternately, install Chicken of the VNC. Development stalled in 2005, but the project was restarted in 2010 with the name changed to simply //Chicken//, which can be downloaded from https://github.com/boecko/chicken/. I have not use this product.
+  - You can also use Remote Ripple for Mac, a paid version of TightVNC created for OS X. It can be installed from the Mac Store (Android and IOS versions available from their respective stores).
