[ale] vmware remote display vs vnc on the ubuntu box vs xming on my Windoze machine

JD  thank you for that great answer.

Here is the setup.

Work PC runs Win7 64 bit with 12GB RAM.  On this box I run VMWare
Workstation 7 which runs Ubuntu 11.04 64bit version.
Runs fine.

Home Laptop runs Win7 32 bit with 3GB RAM.  I connect from this laptop to
the VMWare Ubuntu11.04 I just mentioned above.

Currently the mode of connections is VNC client on my Laptop to the VM.

I am trying to configure XMing on the laptop and use Putty to connect to the
VM in the WorkPlace.  I want to use Putty to do X-Forwarding and thats where
I am trying to get suggestions.

Your input on running PuppyLinux inside a VM on the Laptop  is very
interesting and can help me avoid XMing.
Running PuppyLinux within a VM on my laptop might work, but does it work
well with only 512Mb of RAM well ?

I will give it a shot for the PuppyLinux stuff.  Is XDMCP almost like VNC ?
(lets keep aside security for a second) as in it runs the app on the Work VM
but projects display back to the VM on the home Laptop VM.

If I disconnect the XDMCP session is the app running on the remote box going
to run even after I disconnect XDMCP ?
