As the T23 is so slow these days (I swear it used to be usable once upon a time <g>) I'd like to figure out what remote service would put the least demands on the T23. It's fully populated to 1GB memory (it's maximum), so memory is less likely a factor than the processor.

You may also want to try Xspice.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Spice#Xspice

It would be mainly for reading documentation (web pages and PDFs), email, etc, and perhaps watching training videos through YouTube & such (yeah, videos may be the downfall of the whole idea).

SPICE can handle audio and video but I am unsure about the development status of Xspice audio support.


I had thought of using XDMCP, but it seems to have been removed from newer display managers like MDM. I liked XDMCP since it would be the most seamless of any option (since your entire desktop is running remote anyway), all the others seemed to require a lot of services loaded locally first, then your remote session would be in a window anyway. But if there's any suggestions for better options, I'd like to hear them.

I'm looking forward to Xspice integration with systemd. Until then, it can be run from a command line (like Xvnc).


And no, there is no budget to get newer hardware in the foreseeable future; what I have is what I'm going to have to use. (any better/newer machines I have are broken and/or unrepairable).
