Why use VNC over Apple Remote Desktop?
Apple Remote Desktop (“ARD”) offers many speed, feature and security improvements and is also much easier to configure than VNC-over-SSH. However, ARD is a commercial product, while VNC is free. If you have funding, or need speed and clipboard (copy/paste) features, it is recommended that you use ARD. If you feel comfortable at the command-line and can do without copying and pasting between local and remote computers, VNC-over-SSH is comparable.
