[ale] VNC viewers for linux

[Dow Hurst]

Here check these links out for lbxproxy and dxpc used for increasing 
remote X display speed.  These are obviously old projects that aren't 
being really improved now.  Probably this is due to DSL and Cable 
becoming so popular.  However, it sure looks promising for improving an 
X connection if you wanted to do that.  I think two fast machines at 
each end of a VPN and then using these techniques inside the provided 
tunnel would be a possible solution.

All of the links are pretty old so pay attention to outdated info but 
essential stuff for classic commands like xauth is the same, AFAIK.
