You always had the option to send frames over the net using VNC and such. But for many use cases, X over SSH was absolutely fantastic.

I remember using it on a very basic DSL connection to work remotely back in 2005, and it was almost like running local. You don’t get anywhere near the same performance with VNC or RDP.
