At school (Sac State) we log into a CENTOS system running GNOME, or I believe you can select your own Window Manager, and all seems to work fine. I hate VNC though. I haven't found a way for Alt-tab to work except with TightVNC, click the Alt key and then select Tab. Which still doesn't really work. The Alt-tab always go to the local host.
RDP seems to work a whole lot better. There isn't an RDP server for GNU/Linux, is there? Isn't there a light weight X server out there for Winblows? brian On Tue, Apr 21, 2009 at 10:47:37AM -0700, Rod Roark wrote: > Thanks Orson... good suggestions though I'm pretty much OK with > VNC performance.
