Ditto. BB makes my remote sessions with one of the Sun boxes at
varsity an absolute pleasure. The desktop on the server is
identical to that on my FreeBSD box at home. Everything works
transparently. And the ability to to reduce the graphics to a
minimum through the selection of an appropriate theme makes the
slow dial-up modem connection more than tolerable. Desktop
icons and other sundry clutter would do nothing but slow
everything down.
Many regards,
