For remote access over the public Internet I usually use ssh. With the |
| 2 |
'-X' option it gives you secure encrypted port forwarding to your |
| 3 |
local X server, which appart from a speed hit is functionally pretty |
| 4 |
close to having a directly connected X terminal. |

Of course if you are trying to connect from a Windose or other non-X |
| 7 |
system, then VNC is probably what you need. |
