comment Is there anything that can be done to make X forwarding over LAN less painful?
Just curious if you tried running both vncserver and vncviewer on the media server with the X11 forwarding (from vncviewer to you main workstation) via ssh with compression and blowfish cipher mentioned by @criziot?

comment Cursor speed in RXVT or URXVT
It is a temporary change, that you can run on the command line, and should take effect immediately. If it works, you'd need to include it in an X startup file (to be run when you login), but I'm not sure what file would be appropriate for Ubuntu.

comment Root Can't Delete Folder It Owns
Might make sense if directory was coming from a NFS server or some other form of NAS. Depending on server config, root on client might not be able to delete files, and server might not support file attributes.

If your input files could be sorted, the comm command might do what you want (assuming it is available under cygwin)

comment What is the meaning of the following commands when installing Skype
Note: the /usr/bin/skype shell script you are creating also needs a command to actually start the skype application. The recipe at if-not-true-then-false.com/2012/… also includes this line $SKYPE_HOME/skype --resources=$SKYPE_HOME $*

comment Linux: close a program with command line (not kill it)
Should we assume that accessing the desktop remotely with VNC and then graphically clicking close is too much overhead.
