Screen and keyboard sharing between your Macs

The screen sharing works really well on the macs - in Leopard its integrated nicely into the Finder.

Macworld has some great tips on how to make screen saving work nicely using it as a standalone app, and Bonjour with useful menu bars

Now a few things are a little bit annoying - like Command Tab not working in the remote screen when you are screen sharing.
A really nice way of achieving this is to use a keyboard synchronising tool - like Synergy or (IMHO) better app like Teleport

Here is a tip to start up screen sharing remotely from the command line

Note - symlink screen sharing into your Applications folder: sudo ln -s /System/Library/CoreServices/Screen Sharing.app /Applications/Screen Sharing
