FreeNX



I talked about FreeNX at the meeting tonight (next time, bring rocks for the stoning). It is a Linux only app that is similiar to Citrix (without the licensing fees). It supports multiple users at a time, and allows you to suspend and resume sessions.

Before you install, I urge you to look at my walkthrough of installing it under Ubuntu - even for those of you not running it. http://aragirn.resnet.mtu.edu/blog/?p=6 or

To install:

Ubuntu or Debian - add the following line to your /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://kanotix.com/files/debian/ ./

Be forwarned, there are other .debs there, which I've not tested, I recommend you comment it out once you've installed, and you do not apt-get upgrade while it is in your sources.list. You'll want to install:
freenx
nxclient
