This software is developed by NoMachine and can be found

this company earns money by giving support for this software. It can be installed on Linux and Solaris. There is no server for Windows because the use of RDP server is suggested.

Install is easy (tested on Ubuntu 7.04).

• Download client, node and server and install them (.deb package, easy to use, no problem during install)

• After install it is good to do some good tips :

This is my source, you can find all needed there. Only thing I had to do (to allow log in to Gnome for Ubuntu default non root user) was

Remove gdm file from /etc/init.d/ and reboot

This will stop Gnome from running by default when you start server. So you will be able to start it remote with NX software. When working on console and want to have Gnome running, just run

startx 

That is all, enjoy

• The full traffic is encrypted if installed as written above. (tested by ethereal)
• Even when encrypted, the NX software is more swift than VNC server but a bit slower tham RDP (can be caused by encryption )
• The server connects to port 22 and than establishes new connection so it is more secure
• The client is avaliable for Windows, Linux, Solaris, Mac OS
• The encryption takes out a lot of system resorces. On both server and client.

• The language of the system is sometimes not willing to change
• The servers session froze once and had to be removed (finish)
