What's the latency on this thing? Also, I've recently looked into remote desktop software, does anyone know of a good remote desktop software with very low latency through LAN? How low can it get? <50ms?

Wouldn't the latency depend on your location and the location of the server where its hosted? To answer your second question Teamviewer works good for us, we use it heavily in our office on linux desktops.

The latency depends on your connection, but on a commercial internet connection, you're looking at <50ms. Anything under 100ms is quite smooth.

I'm using X2Go[0] through LAN and it works very well. Just make sure you are using a compatible desktop environment[1] [0] http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/start http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/start [1] http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/doc:de-compat http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/doc:de-compat

  Hows the latency? Can you move the mouse naturally? That's my biggest concern. Also, on LAN can you run it at lossless / no compression? How's the latency on that?

    On my LAN I don't notice any latency at all. The mouse movement is natural. Regarding compression: I've set to the best quality and never had any problems or notable latency. You should give X2go a try. It's simple to setup up[0]. [0] http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/doc:installation:x2goserver http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/doc:installation:x2goserver

      Thanks, I'll definitely check it out!

It's somewhat 'not-the-intended-use', but I recently just started using Steam in-home streaming with a workaround to make it stream my entire desktop. It's not brilliant for text and Windows-only (as host), but ridiculously fast. It's just a H264 stream, GPU-encoded, and simply works much better than any other remote desktop solution I've tried.
