Interesting use of VNC

[Henry Ware]

Hi,

In the cool things people are doing with VNC department: workspot.net
is offering free use of VNC to the world.  The user has a Linux/KDE 
account on the server.  Access to the account is over the web with 
Java-VNC displaying the user's desktops in the local browser.  

It looks to me like an interesting solution to the XDM over VNC issues.  
A user can have several Xvnc servers running and choose which to use.  
The session then stay active until deleted.  I wonder how/if they store 
destops that haven't been used in a while... do they save them or just 
let them be swapped out?

They are still in beta;  it seems that their development work is GPL. 

I have no relation to workspot, except that I think its neat.
