Hi, Make Kettenis wrote: 'use "ssh -X" to achieve X11 network transparency'
even that is old school... "ssh -2 -X" is surely the way to go? Encryption is good when you have control of the keys and protocols used (or know all who can access/use them)...but new school 'Apps' send your personal data, over public networks, without you knowing what is being encrypted, to massive 'potentially Orwellian' data centres. So I don't think X11 network transparency is much of a threat to your privacy, in 'this time and age', there is an elephant in the room! Reduction of the established/proven complexity of 'consumer' software potentially forces you to use 'cloud services' or rent on-line software to do real work (just look at the Teletubby GUIs of modern 'consumer' operating systems with their 'swarms' of useless highly intrusive apps) Fessing up: I have a vested interest in producing X servers for private companies and individuals, not producing databases and servers for huge anonymous data centres!
