[mythtv-users] Ever use VNC? I find it really useful.

[Nick Gomez]

I'm running Gentoo on an amd64 at home and I connect through my  companies firewall, over the internet and then through my home  firewall. My home broadband connection is limited to 300 kbs upstream  and I still have a pretty responsive desktop. Although I can't watch a  video stream, I can do just about anything else. Mostly it's like I'm  sitting in front of my home PC. 
  
  I know the client had some settings, but I used the  freenx server  as compiled  (actually a 32 bit version on my amd64). Wish I could  be more helpful.
