[Lilug] Speeding up remote X11 over intercontinental connections

[Justin Dearing]

Lewis,

Thanks for the reply. I did a quick install of it on my laptop, and I don't
see an option for a rootless X session. I'll have to play with it some
more. I also found FreeNX, which seems to be the NX server, that google
tells me might support a rootless X session.
