First mistake <grins>  Ok, I am biased towards RHEL-based distros like 
CentOS and Fedora, but have never had any luck with the modern releases
of Ubuntu (give me back my 7.xx version of Ubuntu and I will run it all
day long <smiles>).

and use XMing to run things like Eclipse, Firefox, etc, through the SSH
tunnel while still having the command line.
