Setting up server for multiple users

I would just login graphically directly with something like nx client/server (http://www.nomachine.com/). It uses ssh at the transport level, but it's much faster than plain old X forwarding over ssh.

NoMachine looks sweet and just what I am looking for. But unfortunately the free version supports 2 people and we are not quite their yet to purchase the small-business solution.

Hm.. maybe I can run nomachine and do some X forwarding also. :)

Do they have to work on the server using an X session? It would be faster if they just work locally using eclipse, then commit to svn over ssh. No X required :)

I personally work locally and use git over ssh to update on the server.

Yes that would indeed be easier and we will be using that. But their is still a need for people to log onto the server to manage the project and make changes etc. :)

Is X forwarding slow? Let's say if i was running a lightweight DE (fluxbox) would it be useable for one app. Useable as in no noticeable lag, considering the client has a decent net connection.

Edit: I think FreeNX might be just what I am looking for. This link proved helpful http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison … p_software">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparisonofremotedesktopsoftware

I've tried ssh x forwarding and nomachine and nomachine is by far faster x forwarding is incredibly slow by comparison.
