FreeNX Terminal Server Setup on SUSE 10

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the helpful-hints dept.

TRussell writes to tell us that Mad Penguin recently had the opportunity to review SUSE 10 and found that they had included the latest version of FreeNX on their installation media. FreeNX is a relatively new technology for remote display providing "near local speed application responsiveness over high latency, low bandwidth links." The article provides a nice guide on how to get it set up for several different operating systems.

    Slow latency. I do not think that means what you think it means.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latency_(engine ering)

    Is it just me or are the speed claims overblown by NX? I have run it between work and home and I really dont see any diff between VNC and NX. NX seems to need to totally refresh the screen like VNC does and what ever compresssion it uses seems to not give it any advantage. What are your thoughts?
