[Beowulf] OT, X11 editor which works well for very remote systems?

[James Cuff]

I miss SGI jot. It had this super strange GL offload to the client that
I’ve never seen since.

We really need to find a solid way to do this whole remote GUI work.

Makes me think.  1st workshop. Can’t ever be the first time this question
has been asked. Also David, absolutely not OT. Very much on topic.
