Hey everyone, Many thanks for your replies. Looks like you're making some great progress with 3D support. I'm thinking about co-locating one of my servers into a data centre so I can travel using just my thin-client laptop and SPICE, but I'm not sure how well it will perform if it's not on the LAN.

I'm quite curious about Raspberry Pi as client for > quite some time now, how is the user experience? The Raspberry Pi 2 I've managed to turn into a pretty good thin client. It's running a custom version of Debian Jessie with virt-viewer and IceWM as a minimal window manager.
