How to make 'automatic' remote desktop

[Chris Jones]

> NX is a lot easier to set up if you need users to be able to connect from a various different OSes. They provide simple clients for Windows, OSX and linux. Any user experienced enough to download and install software can use them - Far from the case with ssh tunnels or xdmcp I would say.

Oh, and XDMCP does not let you suspend a session and then reconnect later on, maybe from a different location, with everything running as it was. NX does. VNC does, but does not have automatic starting and stopping of sessions as in NX, you have to do that by hand.... NX is also much better than VNC over a slow network.
