That is right. > Besides, I can easily pass through several machines in one shot (my pc ssh > server1 that ssh server2 and finally get back the GUI to my pc) > But what from the speed point of view? Too many encrypting steps? The encryption doesn't matter. It is the latency of your connection that matters (ping time), because the X proctocol isn't very efficient. You could add compression to the ssh connection if your bandwidth is low (-C), but that would also increase latency. To reduce the X11 overhead you can use lbxproxy or the nxserver if these exist on the remote Unix/Linux installation. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
