I recall ubuntu used a destop manager called LDM LTSP Display Manager. This tool uses SSH to tunnel all traffic. It is possible for them to encrypt the initial login, but to not encrypt the entire session. I wonder if they have encryption turned on for the full session. -Joe Baker

When I was on Ubuntu 8.04, performance on the thin client was quite acceptable, and youtube videos worked well. I upgraded to 8.10, then to 9.04 (9.04 isn't quite released yet, of course, so I'm running the current release candidate) to get current versions of openoffice.org. But overall KDE desktop performance is significantly worse on 9.04, and youtube videos (in Firefox) work very poorly. I do get snippets of video and audio, but it's so jerky that it's totally unacceptable. I haven't had time to investigate this yet, and I suspect that it will be quicker to just go back to 8.04. So this is just FYI to see if anybody else sees the same problem.
