   But if you lose the network connection, all those remote apps die.   
      
   Better to use something like VNC or RDP, where the apps don’t even know   
   the user is at the other end of a network connection. That way you can   
   disconnect and reconnect from the same or different machine, and continue   
   using the desktop session without interruption.
