though, I will admit RDP is pretty serviceable, X11 just seems too janky to work over a really remote connection... and VNC, well it works, but, sigh... I used, every single day, a product called "FastX" from StarNet, that runs X over RDP. It means the X programs I display on my Mac (which are running on a Linux box) are disconnectable/reconnectable. I disconnect when I'm ready to go to work, reconnect there, and do the same thing when I finish at the end of the day. Absolutely lovely.

Again, commercial product, low-end/individual pricing doesn't seem to be listed... There have been a few similar products about a faster remote experience with linux. I've tried a couple, but the commercial bit always rubbed me a little bit... I mean, if the pricing is open for personal use, and reasonably priced, I'm all in. That hasn't been the case in my experience.. thanks for the heads up though. I tried NoMachine's NX for a while, which was very nice.

  Okay, looks like NoMachine is now free for desktop/personal use all around... didn't use to be the case (outside linux version)... May have to give it another look.
