[Icon][Icon]They always invent things too late

• Post categories: Omni, FOSS, Rant, In The News, Technology

This time last year, if I wanted to run some of my favourite applications during the day, I had to SSH-tunnel through the corporate firewall to my desktop and use Xwindows' client-server nature to run my applications remotely through a Cygwin X session.

It wasn't the fastest way of getting a GUI application on your screen.

Now people like NoMachine are releasing new versions of NX, with "outstanding compression, session resilience and resource management and its integration with the powerful audio, printing and resource sharing capabilities of the Unix world"

Where were they a year ago? Huh??

Sounds cool - downloading the free version as we speak!

Mind posting a short guide on how to set this up? I'm using Ubuntu. I installed the three packages (node, client server) but can't seem to start the server daemon.

NoMachine supports NX technology on Ubuntu. So, if your Ubuntu is relatively standard, then you should have no difficulties. The following link should help with installation: http://www.nomachine.com/documents/server/install.php

It's actually been around for years. Tested it when I was back at Uni 3 years ago. It was /really/ fast, for all practical purposes it felt local. Excellent product, but with some awkwardness (at the time) with sound and such.
