My question is that I will need secure access to those servers via X, not just the C/L terminal. What do you recommend for a good secure CentOS program which would do this. Would also want to access via a high port, but I am sure just about any program will allow this to be manually configured.
I use NX and find it amazing. I downloaded the RPMs from nomachine.com because I had not found that they are built in one of the repos (testing if memory serves).
I second the recommendation for NX, especially if you want a full desktop.
There is a better version of NX in the upcoming 5.2 release in the extras repo.
The major difference between nx/freenx and vnc is that NX is compressed, so the desktop is pretty much like running it on the machine, where vnc (and normal X forwarding via ssh) are much slower. I use a remote NX desktop all the time, and it really is just like being on the machine.
