XDMCP works surprising well, but it's still a little sluggish (especially when switching workspaces or alpha effects come into play (like w/ the download manager in firefox, or the logout screen in gnome). I'm using a wireless network, which may be too slow... or would a faster network even do me any better? I would like to have the client over the network work as much like using a real computer as possible. from what i've read, it can be done. anyone have any tips? would using ssh w/ compression enabled have better performance than XDMCP? also, is there any way to do media-intense apps (movie players, games, etc), over the network?
