office. So, on a fast local network does NX really noticeably improve
the usability of an X terminal?)
Wouldn't a low bandwidth solution allow you to fit more terminals onto the
same piece of wire without reconfiguring your network?
I don't know how common that would be, but given that current thick
clients don't use large amounts of bandwidth I'd guess converting them all
to thin clients would place a big load on the wire itself. It'd be nice if
less/no reconfiguration was needed.
