[X2go-dev] X2go-dev Digest, Vol 18, Issue 7

[brian mullan]

I've tried most of the remote desktop solutions out there.   NoMachine's
NX,   NX/FreeNX, Citrix ICA, etc.

They *all* suffer from less than perfect video over the net.   Its a
combination of bandwidth and cpu horsepower either of which can induce
delay/jitter.
Audio won't be as noticable as video because if you miss some bits of audio
your ears/mind usually still can understand but miss some bits of video and
its always noticable.

There are quite a few solutions that are starting to appear though that will
help.

Red Hat has released to opensource the
SPICE<http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/Red-Hat-open-sources-Qumranet-SPICE-protocol-882801.html>software
they got from QumranNet two years ago.
There is also work being done with Neatx although its got key features that
don't work yet (audio/printing for a couple).
and there are a variety of other solutions starting to hit the market.

Then there is the movement to HTML 5 with embedded video support which is
going to change a lot of things for the better.

If the video you need to view is web based then don't have the user launch a
browser on the remote desktop machine but launch it locally.
