Why dont u enable RDP on centOS (running GUI), and then using ubunto with this path
RDP is a Microsoft Windows Remote Desktop Protocol. what good would that be for linux to linux ??!?
Well if Linux did have a RDP server then it might be good...RDP is fast (well, I could play Pinball 3D with it :-P)
There is xrdp and I have packaged it for RPMforge, but I am not sure if it is completely usable. (ie. I haven't figured out how to use it and therefor I didn't make the proper sysv script etc...)
The main reason that RDP is more responsive than VNC on windows is that RDP does caching and works on the GDI API level similar NX does for X. I have watched video playing on a Windows system using UltraVNC with reasonable framerate on a LAN.
x11vnc together with enhanced tightvnc does caching as well and is touted to close the gap with RDP. Lots of information from:
