If you wanted to you can also do the following:
On your Mac mini:
Go to Sharing in System Preferences and turn on the Apple Remote Desktop.
Then click Access Privileges and check VNC. Enter a password and hit ok.
Note the Mac mini's IP in the Sharing panel.
To control:
On a Mac laptop download Chicken of the
VNC<http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/networking_security/chickenofthevnc.html>,
enter the Mac mini's IP and start controlling. On a Windows laptop download
RealVNC <http://www.realvnc.com/download.html>, enter the Mac mini's IP and
start controlling.
