But exists some other solution?? MacOS has an X server built in. You should be able to log into the VM using ssh, with X forwarding enabled, and run graphical commands, logged in from MacOS, that display locally on the MacOS host. The mention of RDP is, I think, confusing people. If you decide to, there are are also other tools that provide a more full "give me the graphical desktop" setup, These include VNC, for which you could run vncserver on the CentOS host and a vncclient or compatible tool on the MacOS. If you're going to have multiple people accessing the host and want better management of all the X sessions, you could even consider the www.nomachine.com tools, which are free for private use and which allow better throttling of numbers of users, and allowing you to kill all the *other* sessions owned by you to free up resources.
