I thank everyone that replied to this.
Clearly I have a number of options, and some studying to do. One thing that impinges on performance is that these machines are all sitting on my desk, connected by a 1 Gbps LAN, so I doubt performance will be all that bad. ;-)
--- If it is over a private LAN, do you need your session to be encrypted?
No, I don't need encryption, but ssh is the only tool I have used on any Linux to connect to one linux box to another. While I have been developing portable code (C++ and Perl) for many years, decades in the case of C++, I know next to nothing about the range of tools available for administering Linux or to facilitate using anything other than gcc or make.
Even using RC4 in ssh (which is the fastest option AFAIK) still introduces lag time. If you have the option of a private lan, having your display not use 'ssh' for forwarding will help quite a bit.
What do I use instead of ssh? And does that mean I need to ssh into the machine to install, or start, extra server software, in order to have it work?
I.e. - set your DISPLAY on the target machine to your local machine name:0.0.
My big issue has been getting Mesa to work ...
I don't even know what Mesa is. If you were to find it in something I have written, it is likely that my neuropathy introduced a tpo for mess. ;-)
I've seen some accelerated graphics in leechcraft's display of it's modules as large icons -- the animation was so smooth, it had to be local (to the display), but I haven't been able to configure Mesa to work with it's swrast driver....
My needs seem, on the face of it, rather simple: something like Dolphin, so I can easily find files; a programmer's editor, like Emacs, &c., oh, and of late, KOrganizer. If all the machines were Windows, I'd be using RDP, but I don't know if RDP even exists in th eUnix world.
