Yes, the speed of your network is much more important than CPU speed (so compressing the network data will be beneficial). SSH over X with a 100Mbps local network works quite nice for most things although it may be a little slow for something with image data (i.e., an OpenGL window or an image viewer). SSH over a 56K dial up line is unbearable. I've run graphical apps (although no image data) and emacs over a cable modem - it's usable, but by no means fast. BTW, are you the Scott Sharkey I know or are there two Scott Sharkey's using Linux in Columbus?
