Fastest way to connect to an Ubuntu machine

Like many, I use a remote desktop viewer in order to connect to my Ubuntu machine. My Ubuntu machine serves as a media and file server, so I have it set up in the corner of my home office and never work at the machine directly. Instead, I connect to my from my MacBook.

Up until now, I used JollysFastVNC viewer. While this vnc viewer is a little fast than Chicken of the VNC, it's still not as fast as I would expect a local connection to be.

While browsing the Ubuntu forums however, I came across a great and super fast way to connect to an Ubuntu machine, from a Mac.
