I'm curious why anybody would want to do X forwarding when it seems to me that VNC would be faster and easier, not to mention more robust (if the network connection dies, the session is still there on the server, waiting for me).
Am I missing something? Is X forwarding better than VNC in some way?
VNC requires root access on the server to set up. VNC is also limited to one user at a time.
It really depends on what you're trying to accomplish, I suppose.
