I've installed a few software packages in the last few days:
Chicken of the VNC
CyberDuck
Google for those ... they are easy to find. Both are pretty solid. I've yet to ferret out any underlying issues with those tools (or any user-error issues :o) ).
Currently, I'm working on aliases for certain commands, specifically SSH commands so I can log into my remote hosts with one typed word. I've gotten the aliases to work but I'm still working on getting them to be sticky (or permanent). It appears that most web pages out there are focused more on pre-Tiger. It should be long before I have it working though.
I also bought a book, "Mac OS X Tiger for Unix Geeks, which is a pretty good read and appears to be very practical, although it's not as granular as I need it to be, so i may go back out and get another OS X book to assist me in my learning.
One of the book's highlights is firewalling. I had no idea OS X was using ipfw behind the scenes. I shall take advantage of that soon! :o)
OK, it's late and I've to work tomorrow (first time in a week). Laters!
