So, I'm wondering, why are you guys using remote X? Does it offer
anything that you don't get from say, Xvnc, NX, ssh tunneling, etc?
I've always used the others because remote X was harder to set up (for
me anyway) and when it was finally working it felt slower, but if
there are 3 people here doing it there must be something to it...
