[Dclug] what is the eee pc?

[Przemek Klosowski]

   "terminal services" send a bitmap (well the Citrix app will send a
   roughly 75% compressed bit-map) and mouse keyboard interaction involves
   a lot of quick callbacks to the "Citrified" application - the Citrix
   protocol.  

No, the entire bitmap isn't being sent--that used to be true with the
first generation of Windows remote desktops. The recent ones such as
RDP certainly aren't pushing screenshots around:

   An equivalent question; how well does X remoting work over
   the internet.

It does work quite well, thank you---after all, X was designed as a
network protocol. In my experience, a bigger perfomance impact results
from the multiple tunneling you have to do to get at a typical
internal corporate system: first encrypted tunnel to the firewall, and
another one to the endpoint.
