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.
