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.

    Excuse my ignorance, but how many connections are "high latency, low bandwidth"

    Dialup is high latency, low bandwidth.

    Dialup? Slow latency.

    I think your confused here. Latency is the time it takes for a packet to reach its destination. (And get back if talking round trip time) Bandwidth is how much data can be transmitted per second. See here
