Why dont remove the VNC and add < FreeNX >?
| Quote | NX is an exciting new technology for remote display. It provides near local speed application responsiveness over high latency, low bandwidth links. The core libraries for NX are provided by NoMachine under the GPL. FreeNX is a GPL implementation of the NX Server.
NX encapsulates and translates into Remote Frame Buffer, the protocol used by VNC, another Open Source remote computing facility. |

| Quote | | NX also can connect to remote RDP and VNC sessions and offer big performance wins over TightVNC and rdesktop remote access. NX can do all of this from Linux, Mac OS X, Solaris and Windows workstations as well as from some types of PDA gadgets. |
