[ale] VNC viewers for linux

[Dow Hurst]

Jonathon,
Have you ever worked with lbxproxy?  It was something I was very 
interested in but then we got DSL so the priority dropped.  It condenses 
the X protocol so you get more command info passed in smaller 
bandwidth.  I never set it up so have no idea how to make it work.
