NX - A Revolution In Network Computing?

Anonymous Coward writes "Judging from this interview, it looks like KDE developers have found a new toy to add to their desktop's networking capabilities. They claim to be able to cram a fullscreen KDE session -- KMail for mailing, Konqueror for file management, Mozilla for web browsing and OpenOffice for word processing -- into a 40 KBit/sec modem connection without losing responsiveness for the user experience. At aKademy, the 9 day KDE Community World Summit, a group of core developers started to work on NX/FreeNX integration to help facilitate the "re-invention of the KDE desktop environment" for KDE4. Knoppix-3.6 is the first Linux distribution to ship an integrated FreeNX server (created by Fabian Franz) with the NoMachine NX Client."

MS Office still beats KOffice and OpenOffice and unfortunately I really don't think this is going to change that.

Please quantify that statement with facts.

MOD PARENT FUNNY!!!!

Dude, you are KO in my book.

Not all bible-thumpers are republicans

I'm a certifiable, ordained bible thumper, but I plan to vote for Kerry. Perhaps we should keep our religious value systems where they are and you should keep your heathen prejudices out of government and keep them off of Slashdot?

I'm a registered member of Americans United for the Seperation of Church and State, and I would still vote Bush over Kerry. US Presidential politics is always about choosing the lesser of evils, to think otherwise is delusion.
