I use VNC to hit up some of my systems remotely, tunnelling it through SSH
just b/c i'm paranoid :o

>From my experiences (and it's been a few years since I did this, so it
might have changed) VNC through VNC got to being abysmal and nigh on
unusable, b/c of the multiple redraws involved; VNC's gotten better in
that time, though, so that might actually work decently now; as I say, I
haven't tried it lately.
