Does anyone else here use NX instead of VNC?

AFS access and how to use it. It's great being able to access your AFS
shares off campus.
umd-secure for wireless, getting it set up under network manager (or
just with wpa_supplicant) is a total pain.
x-tunneling through ssh (does anybody do that anymore?)
file editing with kate using the fish:// protocol
using the vpn connection to get access to safari.orielly.com (free tech books)
what printers you can print to for free :-)

Another *good* thing to do is to go over the official tools
people need to be good UMD citizens. Some of this is on OIT
pages, but we should regularly check that linux is well
represented (or else written down on our pages).
Examples are:
1) phone dialup (now probably totally abandoned)
2) vnc
3) vpn (needed for doing UMD stuff off-site on comast, verizon etc.)
4) email (thunderbird, kmail, ....) setup for UMD stuff
5) anything else I haven't thought of
and guess what, I got my first DOCX attachment yesterday :-(
