I'm new to FreeBSD, so I may be off base, but I use vncserver on my

Thanks for your reply! I have been told VNC is a good way to go as
well, but some have mentioned some performance issues. What have you
found? It works liveably well?
It works great for me. I have a pretty fast internet connection (cable
modem).
One thing I like about it is the session doesn't end when you
disconnect. You can start a long running process like cvsup, disconnect,
and come back later to check on it.
Unlike when you vnc to a Windows box, you don't get the X session
that's on the local workstation, you get a new one. If you need to
connect to the primary X session, like for remote support, there's a
version of VNC in the ports for that too (xvnc?).
For the record, I finally got standard X11 forwarding working once I
installed tightvnc. I presume it was because I didn't have an X11
client installed. Now to get VNC working! I can see which I prefer.
Thank you again all for your time!
