Unrelated, but I have a client back home who used to use TightVNC to view his work desktop from home. I set it all up for him, and he was happy. Then I stumbled on UltraVNC, which (if you’re connecting a Windows VNC client to a Windows VNC server) uses its own video driver and some other voodoo to make VNC sessions a lot more pleasant. I couldn’t give you numbers, but it just ‘feels’ several times faster.
