  1. Re:Just how bad is X? by linefeed0 · · Score: 2, Informative · on RandR Support on XFree86 4.3

    I won't speak to raw performance issues here, but the network load of the X protocol can be greatly alleviated by dxpc or better yet MLview dxpc, which claims to be around the speed of Citrix ICA.

  2. ICA and MLView DXPC eat ICA and VNC for breakfast by Nailer · · Score: 2 · on VNC, No Longer Orphaned

    Oops, something went wacky there. Here's the correected version...

    The name of the protocl is RDP, Remote Desktop Protocol. There's already an RDP client for Linux if you need it that works great with Windows 200 terminal services.

    However, Citrix ICA is still years ahead of RDP in terms of bandwidth utilization and flexibility. Furthermore, there's also an compression tool that apparently matches Citrix in terms of bandwidth utilization, although its still in beta. RDP is good, but its certainly not the best.

    10Gb speeds should be enough for anybody

    Just like 640K is enough for anybody.

    While I'd never said "640GB (GB not KB) of RAM should be enough for anybody (example a Toy Story quality graphics game), agree that 10Gb should be enough for any end-user. Becouse if it's not enough, you can always just use your computer as a full-multimedia-ass-kicking terminal to a supercomputer somewhere connected to other supercomputer with even 10Tb/s pipes. (And today, using X-Window compression protocol you can browse the net with acceptable speed using netscape running on remote mashine and X-server on local one connected with a 33.6kbps modem.)

    In the past, I've used dxpc for broadband-speed X connections, and while it didn't solve all of my problems, it did make them more bearable. These guys have done lots of work on improving dxpc, and I highly recommend it.

    (Latency, however, will kill you. I wish I still had the DSL connection I had at the old apartment; it ran circles around this cable modem.)

  6. For better X Performance check out this by egghat · · Score: 1 · on How Much Bandwidth Does VNC Require?

    ML View.
    It's a beta, but hey, we're on Slashdot ;-)
    They claim, that it is MUCH better lbx Stuff from X.
    Plz. moderate this up, I think it's a rather useful project, that needs a few good hackers.
    Bye egghat.
