Remoting Mac to VNC, Linux or anything X11 based

11/26/09: I have several Ubuntu servers that I wanted to control remotely from Snow Leopard. Using VNC is too slow for my needs (running Netbeans and Eclipse on a remote machine). The solution is remarkably simple and effective:
1. Make sure your Linux machines have SSH server running
2. Open a terminal window on your Mac, and log into a Linux computer, like this (don't forget the -Y option)
ssh -Y user@1.1.1.10
3. Once logged into the remote computer, you can run all your gnome software as you would locally, just start it from the terminal, ...for example, to start netbeans, just type:
/bin/sh "/usr/local/netbeans-6.5/bin/netbeans"
Netbeans will appear on your Mac as any other application - except, it will be running on X11. On a gigabit network, this is as good as being in front of the dedicated computer.
