And if it is, whether there's any way to tweak it?</div><div><br></div><div>Also, it occurs to me that SSH compression would have to be lossless, by nature. So I'm wondering if there's any way to get something like tight-vnc working; or whether we should try a lightweight X desktop like XFCE?</div><div><br></div><div>I'm not really happy about the performance, compared to terminal server, for ex, or even the old Fedora/Gnome K12-LTSP we upgraded from.</div><div><br></div><div>Insights and pointers appreciated.
