vnc vs freeNX?

[James Weatherall]

Felix,

64Kbps is a pretty slow connection.  However, as I stated earlier, it
depends *heavily* upon what you're actually doing as to which will be
faster, and on whether you're using properly configured and up-to-date
versions of the software...

Cheers,

Wez @ RealVNC Ltd.
