Preview on kNX Client and FreeNX Server for LinuxTag Visitors (KDE.News)

[Posted June 28, 2004 by ris]

KDE.News reports that a team of KDE and Knoppix hackers are showing two programs at LinuxTag. The FreeNX Server and kNX Client are not officially released yet, but several presentations have shown a well working preview of the KDE version for the speed boosting NX Terminal Server technology, developed by NoMachine.com.

Great software

But has anyone managed to get the GPL'ed Version (i tried the .deb packages ) to resume sessions?
I saw the presentation on the LINUXTAG and it all looked promising.
My 1st experiments also were very promising: not more than 30k-40k were used by a session, in direct comparison to VNC which used a max of 1300kb...

Just need to get that re-attachment feature to work ;)

Greetings

Yes I have. Once it is released, it will work for you too. Please stay patient, it takes a few more weeks.

If you cant wait to use session re-connection, why dont you start playing with the commercial/proprietary NX Server from NoMachine.com in the meanwhile? You can test it at no cost for 30 days. And its source is 95% (my guess) the same as the GPL'd part. The GPL'd part has the same speed as the commercial/proprietary version -- NoMachine dont issue different libraries for OSS and their business product.
