I've done this in several locations both on host systems and in LXC containers. It's very efficient bandwidth wise and I pull remote desktops (XCDE4) over even slow links and still have it very effectively usuable. Basically, you need the freenx server and all it's components installed in the container and Remmina on your local desktop. It runs over ssh and utilizes X token level compression for kick ass display compression and speed. One gotcha. I haven't tried this in the last year or so but, at one point, NX was broken on Ubuntu due to dependency failures in some multimedia packages and libraries that I was never able to resolve at the time. I gave up at that point and all my remote desktops are now on Fedora. Regards, Mike > Why do I need to run one program... email.
