Yes, but SSH-tunneling adds extra overhead, does it not? That would reduce
the effective throughput of VNC. I may bite the bullet and buy a copy of
Enterprise, but it bugs me a bit that they chose not to make a "personal"
version of VNC for linux. I don't need the extra stuff that Enterprise
gives, really.
