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.
IMO, ssh on a local network is fast enough. Of course, the more graphic enhancements the apps use, the slower they are. And if you have a gigabit network, it is faster. For example, you could use a local editor to edit remote files, sharing the remote folder via nfs. On the other hand, text tools such as gcc work equally fast over ssh. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.
