Lion's built in VNC server works just fine, they just changed the authentication process and many clients are no-longer capable of logging on, especially ones that haven't been updated since Lion came out or where Mac compatibility is a low priority. In my experience, the ones that haven't been updated for Lion support by now usually didn't work very well with OS X anyway (poor system integration).

Still, its the best available on OSX AFAIK, unless you want to run the VNC viewer under X11. Logmein.com This is awesome. I've used Chicken of the VNC and JollysfastVNC but have two main issues with them both - the hassle of having to forward ports and the speed - on a fast connection, directly working on a remote machine is painful - far too much lag. So I used Cyberduck to send files to myself before working locally and re-sending back to the remote machine. Then per chance, I stumbled upon.
