Also if you are using Ubuntu you might try using LXDE over GNOME on that setup.

Definitely. Ubuntu's Unity and Gnome desktops are pretty crappy. LXDE and Cinnamon are great.

@scottalanmiller If I wanted to go to all web based, then what would you recommend?

I'm not aware of any product that supplies the desktop over the web. People must be making this and when an HTML5 desktop is ready, I'm going to be ecstatic. But, I'm not aware of any yet.

2X Application Server is able to distribute desktop Apps, and the desktop itself over HTML5. It is still a beta feature right now but it works pretty well.

Those guys are based in Dallas, right up the street from my house. They used to hang out at the SpiceCorps at my home.

They make a really nice product. Very happy with it in our environment. Not sure how to Parallels acquisition will work out for them though.

I have 2X for remote access. It will be improved performance wise when I put it on some new hardware. It seems a tad sluggish on older stuff
