Actually the "nx" user isn't required, neatx supports operating without. However, NoMachine's nxclient doesn't support this, as it assumes that it should always log in as the "nx" user. So, if you're using !M's nxclient, you need to do a small bit of modification client-side. Here's an example of what to do client-side (though the beginning of the post is specific to FreeNX): http://www.felipe-alfaro.org/blog/2009/01/18/freenx-usermode-authentication-and-mac-os-x/
Python handles this just fine - the part that Neatx implements is io-bound, not cpu-bound (at least on any remotely modern platform). The bash scripts are tiny (see http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1301267&cid=28688001) and there purely for emergency error-handling.
Bigtime. Without NoMachine's open-source NX libraries, there could be no Neatx/FreeNX. They deserve major kudos for what they've done for the community.
To be fair, the NX compression libraries by NoMachine resolves those issues. Neatx just makes it possible to use these libraries without relying on non-open-source'd code.
You are correct apart from the very first bit: ":() defines a function named : with no arguments". It declares a function, the declaration says nothing about arguments. Sh functions don't have an explicit argument list, everything is passed in through the positional parameters ($1 $2 etc).
"All of it. Every last claim, counterclaim, ludicrous bit of nonsense, deeply insightful meditations...everything."
"And then an old man came out, we think he's a judge, we're not sure. He said that the initial allegations were in fact true, and that all subsequent allegations were completely false. But we later found out that he was wanted in 80 different countries for lying to children and digging up dead people just to practise lying to them."
You wha? I have a 550 TiBook here. It's one of the worst built laptops i've ever seen. The screen hinges are so flimsy they just break themselves. It gets really hot, almost too hot to touch. The lid-release is so finicky you need two hands to open the damn thing. The main case flexes so much that if lift the laptop with your right hand a cd in the drive will grind to a halt.
The more recent powerbooks are nowhere near as bad. A 550 TiBook is a 'classic piece of machinery'? Only if you're looking for a classic example of form over function.
1. Apple may never release a standalone copy of Mac OS X (Intel) that you can actually buy without purchasing a machine. With Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard), this may occur, but it is not yet guaranteed. In this scenario, I don't think there is any excusable way in any jurisdiction to run Mac OS X on non-Apple hardware, since you *must* pirate Mac OS X to do so.
Um. So in say 2 years time, i can't buy a 2nd-hand piece of crap mac, and use the version of OS X (Intel) on my pc instead? I disagree that doing so is piracy.

Dude, it's just a junk email, let it go. It's not like it's a family heirloom, you don't have to pass your one junk email down to your children and your children's children.
Hi,
I'm on the laptop testing team for ubuntu, and i also have an inspiron 9300. For the most part, things just work in breezy. Check out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/DellInsp iron9300. I'd be interested to hear if you have any issues that aren't on that page. Thanks,
Steve
Eh? Is that possible? In the article they talk about transmitting power across the city using fiber optic cables. We're talking mega, if not giga, watts here people. Can that seriously be done? Or is it just inaccurate reporting?

I can assure you that there is no data-collection done in the code (and as it's open-source, you're welcome to verify this for yourself)
Steve, Neatx project lead
I see you're quoting http://code.google.com/p/neatx -) You skipped the critical next sentence:
"In the meantime, the best way to get neatx is to check it out from svn" (http://code.google.com/p/neatx/source/checkout)

See http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1301267&cid=28688001 for a breakdown of the language usage between FreeNX and Neatx.
Good question -) However, have a look at the different language breakdowns between the codebases.
FreeNX:
5.4k lines of bash
233 lines of C
102 lines of expect
Neatx:
5.7k lines of python
400 lines of C
54 lines of bash
The bash in neatx is there to provide wrapping of the python code, so that any unhandled errors etc are logged. It's a belt-and-britches approach.

No, it's the other way around, just like neatx.
