I haven't tried FreeNX, x2go or NeatX or any of those, but I'm using |
| 5 |
nxserver-freeedition for years and using the official NX Client to |
| 6 |
connect from remote machines (Linux and Windows). All of the features |
| 7 |
work such as session suspending and resuming. I use public key login |
| 8 |
on my machine and there was some trick to getting it working |
| 9 |
initially. (I don't remember, but if you search for my name and |
| 10 |
nxserver in this list's archives there should be a message about it |
| 11 |
somewhere.) |

I think that the other NX clients, such as QtNX, or things based on |
| 14 |
libnxcl, usually only work to connect into a FreeNX server and not |
| 15 |
with the official NX servers. Ideally I think the nx client version |
| 16 |
should match the nx server version for best results. |

nxclient contains a whole X server, which is really not necessary if |
| 19 |
the client machine is already running X. Ultimately if your client has |
| 20 |
X and ssh already, you just need nxproxy. Connect to server and run |
| 21 |
nxagent and have a working session (there are shell scripts to do this |
| 22 |
on platforms who have X but not nxclient, such as ARM). But you won't |
| 23 |
get any of the special features like suspending and resuming, |
| 24 |
printing, sound, etc. |
