Are you using TightVNC? Have you tried NoMachines NX Server (http://www.nomachine.com/)? It has been said that is faster than VNC. It is not exactly free but the same company has released GPL code. An offshoot project called FreeNX is due for public release. It would be cool if you test it out and publish the results here. ;) > i should know because i am using them both here in the project on a daily > basis. not to mention that the security team here in the firm is suggesting > that vnc be disabled because it is not secure[1]. I have heard that NX uses SSH authentication and you can choose encrypted sessions or not. This is interesting but I do not have the time to test its performance.
