Cafe hipsters? (I'm not going to comment on the Ubuntu um, silliness) Don't forget those that have the luxury of high speed internet connections and/or high powered computers, which most of the world *doesn't* have - both of which are base requirements if you want to use X forwarding for graphically intensive remote displays. The alternatives like using HTML5 have considerable advantages without the limitations and failings of X forwarding. > I can either sit here for a weekend and get something like > Tilemill properly running under Debian, or dump the thing into a throw > away Ubuntu virtual machine and X forward that crap over. > > X forwarding has its uses.
