n12/8   Is there such a detacheable X terminal? I would like the ability to
        detach my current X and continue working at home... is that feasible?
        \_ vnc
        \_ There are a few things that will do this: the vncserver for X
           will give you a detachable, reattachable X session; but it's not
           encrypted, but you can always ssh to the machine and do a
           vncviewer localhost.  "xmove" has a form of this, and there's also
           at least one more whose name escapes me.  In reality, I've never
           found any of these very useful, probably because I've never had
           a very low bandwidth X program that was essential to detach (just
           end up using "screen" usually..)  --dbushong
           \_ huh?  Vnc is plenty damned fast.
              \_ It's about as fast as running the apps remotely not in VNC
                 ...which may be fast enough for you..  --dbushong
                 \_ I've played netrek over VNC.  It's faster than that.
