Re: Re: Please help me rate vnc, rdesktop, and freenx

Mainly it will all depend on "your" server specifications and network setup.  We use VNC to remotely control the Windows boxes on the network and it does an ok job, but even T1 to T1 we have a bit of lag. 
We also use FreeNX for remote desktop features and it is quite fast from home to office, it does have its quirks though.
So in all try them out in a lab and see which one is the best fit for you.  I have to agree though that for "everyday" use ssh is just fine.

Speaking of windows (ducking), I see that server 2008 will have a command-line
only install mode. It looks like Microsoft finally realized how much usable
processor time is wasted refreshing GUI screens on servers no one is even
looking at.
But we are still technically living in trees, but now they cut them down and
make houses...;-D
