Remotly control my mac from somewhere else?

[CJG86]

Is it possible that i would be able to use somekind of software so that I could use my mac that is at home from somewhere else?

Sure it is. Unfortunately I never tried so I can't tell you how. But there are some guys here, who know how to do and what you need. I just wanted to encourage you!

Is it possible to setup the server but then using the client software on a PC and connect to the mac?

Should be no problem.

VNC works great. OS X server versions leave much to be desired, but they work. VNC as for clients, I have found that VNC Dimension for OS X is the best.

VNC works, but I wouldn't say great. It's like watching grass grow

Yes. I have an iMac and PC running Windows XP networked. I can control the Mac from the PC, and the PC from the Mac no problem.
