I have used VNC but a little - primarily for accessing a Win95 box from a
Linux box. A casual observation is that over a 10 MBps ethernet it seems
a bit sluggish. That might be a problem with Windows rather than VNC.
One thing I like about VNC is that the client software (which runs on the
remote terminal - opposite of X) is SMALL compared to running an X server.
There are VNC servers for DOS, GEOS, Windows95 and more, I haven't tried
them all. In theory, VNC will allow you to run with a MUCH thinner
client.
