Does anyone have any ideas about, or is there a web site that will tell me about, the relative speeds of different ways of running X applications across the internet?
Investigate VNC - it was designed for this.
Hope this helps, Tim.
I use the free version of VNC for things like this and use custom port numbers which make it a little harder to sniff. I only use it in small bursts and I ensure that I never type passwords or enter user ID's into web browsers whilst using the connection. Keystrokes other than the initial password request during connection, are unencrypted.
Real VNC free edition can be used with speed and safety if used responsibly, thats my opinion.
