>even over a 100Mbps line, it is simply too slow.
I call BS. I regularly use VNC to a Linux server over a 10MB network, and by reducing the colour depth, it is easily usable over a 256k internet connection.
>On top of that i have yet to see a VNC implementation where it doesn't occasionally (or sometimes constantly) forget to update parts of the screen.
This only happens on Windows servers, due to the way VNC does screen capture on Windows, because the "proper" way to do it requires kernel-mode drivers and is largely undocumented. It *never* happens on a Linux or OS X server.
