<div>VNC doesn't provide any encryption, SSH does.</div>

<div>Use both, and enjoy a remote GUI with encryption.</div>

<div>Or you could just use FreeNX, which is essentially the same thing, but with better compression of the GUI traffic (so I've read at least). FreeNX works better for me. I haven't found how to connect to an existing session with FreeNX though.

<div>FWIW, I'm having horrible results using ATI and VNC (from what I've read, the problem is due to ATI at least). Never had a problem in the past... started using some computers with ATI cards, both of them are useless for VNC.

<div>YMMV, just my opinions, etc</div>
