Code Forums - View Single Post - VPN + X-Windows = Painful Performance

This is more a gripe than anything else. I need to install an Oracle patch which requires X-windows. It has to be done outside of regular hours. Trying to run X-Windows remotely over my VPN connection isn't practical. I guess I'll have to try remote desktop to a Windows machine (probably another dog over vpn) and have that machine run X, or install vnc (without incurring the wrath of info security).

Aaargh!
