I think Spice is a better solution for you if we can figure out how to set up a spice server. ] You have a low bandwidth connection, and the Spice protocol places a lot of the X stuff in the client rather than the comm line.

Spice is supported by CentOS and Fedora.

I tried to install x2goserver, but it fails to install:

Error: Package: nxagent-3.5.0.17-3.1.x86_64 (X11_RemoteDesktop_x2go)
           Requires: xorg-x11-fonts-core
Apparently "xorg-x11-fonts-core" is a SuSE package that doesn't exist on
CentOS 6,
and x2goserver won't install without it.

Hi John,

I like x2go, FreeNX, and NX, in that order.

Let me know if you have any questions about them.

Subject: [Discuss] Spice for a physical server?

I was interested in trying out spice as an alternative to vnc, after
hearing that it uses much less bandwidth than vnc and therefore gives far
better performance.

However, a google search is only turning up links about using spice to
connect to virtual machines.

Is is possible to use spice to connect to a regular, non-virtual server
in
order to use a graphical display on a remote server?

The servers I want to connect to run CentOS 6.x.

Ditto except I want to be able to run a spice client on Windows 7. I
currently run Thunderbird under X.

SPICE is not a remote/virtual desktop system like VNC or RDP. It is a
video
driver that talks to a SPICE server compiled into QEMU. It may be
possible
to create a SPICE driver that incorporates the SPICE server component
directly but such a thing does not currently exist that I can quickly
find.
