[ILUG] Remote desktop options...

[Gareth Eason]

	+1 for NX

	Remember though that using graphical interfaces on a server means you
have to install (and keep updated) all the X server nonsense on the
*server*, and it uses up potentially valuable RAM. Unless there's a good
reason requiring a graphical interface to the server I tend to use SSH
and text-only. I'm sure you have a good reason for doing what you're
doing though.

	I'll let the trolls discuss that pros/cons of putting Ubuntu on a
server ;-)

	Best regards,
	-->Gar
