Using Firefox on RaspberryPi with X11
So I tried to run Firefox off a rhaspberry pi and bounce the display to my Octane using X11. A window came up but it took foooorever to load and was still unuseable. xterm, rxvt, and such work fine, so not sure whats going on.

Anyone tried this and have any tips to make it work?

RE: Using Firefox on RaspberryPi with X11
X11 sends bitmaps over a network. It's super inefficient network-wise.

My best experience was rdesktop to a windows server 2003 computer and using pale moon off that.

Technical problems should be sent my way.
