Marvin;
VNC will present a heavier load on the server than LTSP.
It is more memory intensive since it processes both the X server and client, then sends the resulting session
image to a remote VNC viewer.
In addition, running both server and client on one box introduces extra kernel context switches, which will bog the server down further. This is one of the X11 performance tuning fundamental concepts.
If it is only for one or two sessions, it might not be noticed. YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary).
Hope this helps.
Tom
My last question for this is, can VNC help the performance if combined in an LTSP setup? Any advice for this kind of setup?
