VCL - Best Remote Display for Linux for WAN

Hi

Any comments on the best (fastest & reliable) remote display for VCL Linux images.

We are testing VCL with Cadence (2D CAD application) and have being testing a couple of systems (FreeNX, X2Go, FastX, NoMachine, xRDP) but are interested in others experiences or suggestions.

Thanks Craig

I've spent some time working with Spice and would really like to get it into 
VCL.  We just haven't had the time or sufficient reason to raise it's priority 
yet.  It is a little different from other methods in that the user actually 
connects to the hypervisor rather than directly to the VM like with other 
protocols.  That's the part that will take some extra time to implement.  It 
does have really good performance though.

Hi Craig,

Have you tried Spice client? The Spice available as a browser plug-in. I'm reading it has 'near' desktop performance on up to 4 local monitors. I only briefly looked at Spice, it's working OK on Linux client, but I haven't tried it on Mac or Windows.

Thanks.
