I use RDP at work and it's a bit slow, but pretty cool.  What I really  
like about it is that, since my employer runs MS Server 2000 with remote  
terminal services, I can work "on windows" from home, even from my FreeBSD  
box (PIII 555Mhz, 128M RAM!).  Something about logging onto the Windows  
environment from FreeBSD feels deliciously subversive.

I've also been following NOmachines' software, which compresses the X  
protocol and apparently pretty effectively.  I wish I had some servers to  
play around with just to try it out.
