Gate One Will Support X11: Fast Enough To Run VLC In Your Browser

Posted by Unknown on from the but-can-it-run-a-web-browser dept.

Riskable writes "Ever seen a remote desktop tool that's fast/efficient enough to play back video? Gate One will soon have that capability via the forthcoming X11 support (as demonstrated in the video). I am posting this to Slashdot looking for suggestions and feedback as to how I should move forward with it before I solidify the architecture, API, and even the business end of it (making money). I'll be watching the thread and replying to comments (as I have time). Also, if you're interested you can sign up to be notified when it's available." We've posted a few stories about Gate One previously.

    ...and even the business end of it (making money).

    Well, you just release the source and documentation; then hire yourself out as a consultant and the money will just come in! You can also write O'Reilly books on your software. We all know that O'Reilly authors are all 1%'ers with their private jets and everything.

    I don't know... most of our RDP users where I work just do the same thing over and over... you could probably buffer their actions.
