Thanks to this blog, I've been able to use x11 forwarding and yes, it is pretty amazing. I was able to use firefox, with extensions, right on my 770, with a little lag. I don't have a keyboard, so no text input yet, heh.

I have been wondering about the VNC issue, also. It seems that if you were to use VNC for the same purpose, you would tie that computer down to that one task. With X forwarding, I could use the app on the 770, and do something different on the computer. I'm sure that VNC also uses more bandwidth.

With the WWW issue, is the fact that by not using the http protocol, and rather going with an internet protocol, that there would be less lag/latency?
