    Freenx will give the best response over low bandwidth or
    high latency (many hops) connections and isn't bad
    locally either. Vnc is the most versatile - there is
    even a palm pilot version and with a little tweak of
    your X configuration it can grab the live console
    session which is handy to check remotely on long-running
    programs. Xorg/Cygwin X are very good over fast local
    connections and have the least overhead on the server
    (probably not an issue unless you have a lot of remote
    GUI users at the same time).
