hi, i am going to make a gentoo terminal server.
i see ltsp project, but it dont descripe good IMO :(
i know about xdmcp and vnc, but i wonder
ltsp seems to have kernel patches and stuff, what does it help?
and vnc seems pretty slow, and i was told xdmcp is slower. how come?
i hate to face this, but terminal services for windows is pretty fast
http://www.nomachine.com has some info on why VNC and X connections
in general are slow. they've developed an encrypting and compressing 
proxy
for X client and server that they claim is something like 50x faster 
than VNC.
i've actually used it, and i'm not sure about 50x but it was possible 
to run
1280x1024x16bpp across a slow VPN connection as if i was on the box 
locally.

downside is it's not free :( some parts of their code are GPL-licensed,
however, so that may be a place to start.
