[OpenIndiana-discuss] NoMachine or X2Go on Openindiana?

[Jonathan Adams]

from all of my prior research, RDP is the best protocol, but most
implementations on Linux/Unix suck big time.  If you're looking for a pay
for product, you might be better off looking at a full blown Windows
Server, or a Cisco product.

I just wish that Sun had released the code for the SunRay software, as they
had apps that would allow you to connect into your session over several
devices.  We still use SunRays extensively in our laboratories, but we
bought up a large quantity of kit when Oracle abandoned the project.

the FreeNX is a NoMachine version 3 equivalent.  but IIRC the latest
NoMachine client talks to the version 3 server happily.
