    I'm not sure if NX has the option to allow root logins. But most admin
    work suffice to use terminal/xterms no?

    You could always try using VNC tunnelled via SSH.(?) Performance wise,
    it could be different?

    What about doing admin on the linux box from a linux box? running X apps
    remotely and displaying it locally?

    ssh -X -C user@host
    gui app &

    something like that??
