I was asking what other's experience was, having explained what I wanted. :-)
The trouble with VNC (from my viewpoint asking the question) is that there isn't a 'VNC' that you can install. VNC is more the underlying protocol. There ar certainly lots of clients that can use VNC. I'd actually have a slight preference for something that uses ssh as have that configured on all my systems already so a lightweight client that depends (only?) on ssh would seem to be perfect for me. -- Chris Green -- xubuntu-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-users
