[SLUG] Alternatives to VNC?

[Craig O'Shannessy]

Hi,

I have VNC set up on all the windows PC's at work, but not on the developers machines because we all run Linux.

I have tried VNC for Linux, but it gives you sloppy feeling X performance on the local machine. Does anyone know of anything that works like VNC for windows (e.g. only has a performance hit for remote users, rather than local and remote users.)

I ask here because last time I was emailing Anthony Rumble he suggested checking here.

Any ideas?

Thanks, and please CC me in any replies.
