I'm a little worried it won't do what I want, though: I need to do remote compilation and debugging. When there's an error, I want C-x-` to take me to the correct place in the remote file. I need to be able to CVS checkout, etc... though I guess I could edit those files on my local machine if they'll get moved transparently. > 2. Get/Use VNC or TightVNC.
