workspot Sometimes you run across something on the web and you go "gee, why didnt I think of that?". Imagine being given your own linux box, with a way to view the desktop remotely via a java app that only draws the changes to the screen. Workspot does that and more - you get StarOffice, TheGimp, the K desktop, and a web server with cgi - bin access... it's cool!

Okay, that is neat, and very useful.

I've only used it on a T3, and it was fast enough for real work. What's it like on a slower line? impossible?

It's not impossible, if you run 640x480 8bit. This is on a 28.8. But you do have to be patient.
