remote X very fast...
by Moritz Moeller-Herrmann on Wednesday 14/Nov/2001, @02:15

Actually, to me VNC often feels faster than X, at least over slow connections. I use it all the time to access Solaris-boxes over an ADSL connection.

Even faster: http://www.medialogic.it/projects/mlview/

Advantage: It uses the X protocol itself, just very weell compressed and with a pixmap cache. Has worked 100% stable for me so far.

This is what I use to work on my office machine from home. Excellent compression, good enough to be usable over ISDN! If I reduced colordepth it would probably be even better.
