[OpenIndiana-discuss] VNC connections to Hipster

[Alex Smith (K4RNT)]

I wish I could get FreeNX to compile and run on some kind of Illumos build

" 'With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the
first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all
irrevocably.' Those words were uttered by Judge Aaron Satie as wisdom and
warning... The first time any man's freedom is trodden on, we’re all
damaged." - Jean-Luc Picard, quoting Judge Aaron Satie, Star Trek: TNG
