I've done a number of those listed in the thread. Though tbh I'm happy with most of the graphics.

What I'm trying to do is basically get network streaming to work without mounting anything in particular.

Basically ssh client to ssh server.

ssh -X munky@192.168.0.194

This logs you in. Then when you run things like: Firefox or vlc or even cvlc. The open up graphically on your n900 but really are running on your computer with access to the files on your computer. Sadly the refresh rate is poor for videos, though if the video works ... it works on n900; and some apps just wont work.

Some do though. So that's an up.
