&gt;&gt;Possibly a dumb question, but can't you just start up another 
&gt;&gt;X-server on your Linux box and have it connect to another 
&gt;&gt;linux server.
&gt;&gt;    
&gt;&gt;
&gt;
&gt;That might very well be the best solution on a LAN, but ICA, RDP, and VNC
&gt;work well across slow links, where X is barely even functional over anything
&gt;less than a T1, and it is quite painful even at that speed. RDP and VNC are
&gt;quite pleasant to use at 56k with RDP having a significant edge, and ICA can
&gt;run over as little as 19,200bps using a cell phone as a connection device. I
&gt;suspect that Red Hat and Suse are working dilligently behind the scenes to
&gt;bring VNC up to this level, as it would have a significant impact on the
&gt;acceptance of their enterprise product lines. It is really just a matter of
&gt;time, but in the interim, I refuse to struggle with inferior technology in a
&gt;production environment. My use of VNC consists of managing one Windows
&gt;desktop connected over a VPN, and that's only because we had no intention of
&gt;buying pcAnywhere just for one machine since we had no need for file
&gt;transfers, remote device mapping, and all the other features present with
&gt;other solutions.
