[Bulk] ssh and vnc

[Joel Oliver]

Have you tried NoMachine's NX?  They have  a free linux edition.  You 
need to install the client, node, and server on the machine you want to 
control, and just the client on the other.  Works awesome and there's no 
lag like in VNC.   I've tried tightvnc vnc4, X over ssh (painfully 
slow), and now NX and NX is defiantly the fastest!

Just and idea.
Joel.
BTW, the FreeNX in the repos is not as good (or as fast/feature full) 
but it's true GPL open source software as NoMachine's NX is not... and 
you'll have to goto their website to download the 3 .debs in the x86/x64 
flavour you need. This link takes you right to the d/l page for linux.
