| What do you recommend for vnc?
So what do you recommend for vnc? Using KDE 4.3 and krfb is just terrible. Even if I am under the same lan the vnc connection is horrible and takes seconds for anything to even respond to what I click never-mind display. Just want to get everyone's recommendations since there are plenty of alternatives to choose from...
Ohh and I dont want to hear any ssh remarks!!  |

Matawan, NJ | Are you talking about replacing the VNC server or client or both? I use RealVNC. |

I should mention I really just need it during some initial configurations and then as a backup to ssh. |

| Real VNC is okay. I am not a huge fan of using VNC. I would rather use SSH because I feel it is more secure and I can do everything I need to do at the command line. Typically when I have to use it I setup an ssh tunnel and then tunnel vnc through it that way I have less open listening ports on the box especially if it is accessible from the Internet.

When I need GUI over a network, I use NX.
VNC is like PCAnywhere to NX's RemotelyAnywhere. |

Yes, use something based off the NX protocol -- VNC will be slow over a non-LAN speed transport.
