I found VNC client on Windows + VNC server on Linux + X clients on Linux
to be dreadfully slow 
compared to X server on Windows + X clients on Linux. But I'm 100% sure
I did everything correct etc. ( standard disclaimer ).

What is XDMCP ?

Hm, I need to work Linux from my machine at work, which is NT box.
I would be happy with high-quality free X server for Windows, but I haven't
seen one. Meanwhile I use Labtam's X-WinPro 5.1.
I think it is very good, but the demo version allows me to work 30 min only...

So I thought VNC could be a replacement for X server. The first results
were negative.

Tima.
