Depending on your clients, you could use ssh -YC which allows X software
to run and display on your Linux client and turns on compression to ease
the otherwise slowness you get.
Once upon a time ago, I used NoMachine NX server and client. It was very
quick. I'm not sure if there's a free server version any more or if it's
enterprise only. Look at nomachine.com

Hi,
I've got a new Ubuntu machine that will be run without an attached monitor or
keyboard/mouse in our comms cupboard for call logging from the PABX system.
I'm trying to set up a method that will allow a remote desktop connection, but
finding many conflicting ideas abound.
So far, I can setup 'screen sharing' from the settings and connect to the
desktop remotely using VNC on windows.
However, if the machine is rebooted without a monitor attached then VNC can't
connect, It needs there to be a monitor present.
If a monitor is present it still needs the user to have logged on first before
it works. So I need some way to start it in this situation or something
different.
I know I could use SSH and use command line to do everything, but other
non-linux users need to be able to connect and look at stuff from time to time,
a gui would help them a lot.
So, I was hoping someone on this list may have done this already and be able to
give me a good pointer?
Regards,
Bryce Stenberg.
