I use turn on the VNC modules in /etc/X11/xorg.conf I port forward port 5902 (for example) at work (university in your case) to port 5900 at home in my ssh config (works on both windows and unix's). I then vnc to localhost:2 and it opens my whole home desktop. I have access to all the applications. If someone sends me an mpg or jpg or something hard to view, I just forward it to work. Using the non-Java/browser version has given real decent performance for me. Bob Styma
