Those Images then i want to make accessible to old Macintosh PowerPC Machines, so the Users can access one or two Applications that only run under Windows XP. I would like to know from anyone in a similar situation how to accomplish this best. Currently, I pretty much have it setup for myself, so when i open X11 on my PowerPC Machine, and type in ssh -X server_address windows_xp , i do get an instance of Windows XP on my PowerPC Machine. The trouble here for now is server and network performance. I would like to know if anyone of you has any suggestions for me on how i can make the network load as little as possible. I read that freenx is offering really good responsiveness, but unfortunately it is marked as broken on my System using FreeBSD Version 6.3. Thanks and best regards, David Schulz
