No I'm talking about using X on our Gigabit internal ethernet network (mostly using Virt-Manager to manage our farm of Xen slices). Shit is slow.
I've tried both Gnome and KDE, I've also tried some alternates. They all suck in comparison to Windows and OS X.
- apotheon 17y agoHoly crap. If X forwarding over SSH is that slow on an internal Gb network, either network congestion is crazy-high, or you're doing something wrong. At least, that's my guess, based on my experience with X over SSH, since "shit is not slow" on my 10/100 network. > I've tried both Gnome and KDE, I've also tried some alternates. They all suck in comparison to Windows and OS X. In my experience, KDE (pre-4.0) and GNOME are marginally better than MS Windows, and slightly worse than MacOS X -- but most of the rest of window managers are significantly better than both MacOS X and MS Windows. Then again, if you're specifically speaking of some kind of interaction between your window manager and X forwarding, I really don't know, since I've never actually tried using KDE or GNOME in concert with X forwarding over SSH.
