I used vnc from home over vpn to the office a few days ago. A second con, as I see it, is performance. I ran vnc over a 2Mbit/sec symmetrical line, and while I was able to get some work done, it was very far from pleasent. Screen updates are very slow. Sometimes things just lag half a second, sometimes I would wait for 20-30 seconds to get all the screen refreshes done. Clearly, setting a background image on the desktop with just a few different colours would help. But even on desktops completely filled with rxvt/emacs/thunderbird, the updates were definintely not quick. I will test this with a SunRay at home later when I have time. For me, vnc is definitely not acceptable as a permanent solution. -- / jakob _______________________________________________ SunRay-Users mailing list [email protected] http://www.filibeto.org/mailman/listinfo/sunray-users
