Use use Remmina as a client and freenx on most of my servers. Remmina supports NX, RDP, VNC, native X11 and others an can tunnel any over ssh. That being said, I've heard some people say some very good things about Spice (not to be confused with the electrical engineering Spice as in gnuspice), which is NOT support by Remmina. Someone told me that Spice was only usable for host to VM remote desktops but, the last I heard, it looks like it's approaching a general purpose remote desktop that can outperform NX. But it's really hard to beat NX. > -- > Les Mikesell > lesmikesell at gmail.com Regards, Mike -- Michael H.
