VNC has poor performance even in LAN. I wonder how feasible would be to: 1. Install NX server on LTSP server - NX server provides disconnected sessions, far better performance than VNC or even pure X over network 2. When a client boots, nxclient is started 3. User types the credentials, and starts a new session (or reconnects to the existing one) Anyone ever tried something like this? -- Tomasz Chmielewski http://wpkg.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
