Nobody has been able to introduce anything better. Try it and you won't look back. I made some notes times back, I think they're still valid. http://waxborg.servepics.com/english/linux/freenx.en.html The notes are based on openSUSE but FreeNX is available for all and clients are available for windows, too. I often use it locally, then leave the session running and continue the session later from somewhere else with some computer available. Right from where I left it. Works fine also over 3G.

From: toll on 3 Nov 2009 12:00 with freenx i was able to remedy the centos xwindow freeze issue after yum update from winxp desktop, most helpful since i couldnt login with runlevel 3. (fix was to reinstall the display driver which had changed parameters after update, logout and then startx).
