How to install and use FreeNX in openSUSE 10.2 FreeNX is the free version of NoMachine’s NX Server, which makes fast, secure, remote X11 connections to enable users to access remote Linux and Unix desktop sessions over a data link such as LAN or Internet. The server has been developed in such way that it’s fast enough even over a low bandwidth and high latency connection such as a dial-up link.

This is one of the main reasons I will choose FreeNX over a common VNC program. FreeNX can be also set up as a proxy, so it will tunnel Remote Desktop Protocols and remote Virtual Network Computing sessions, giving them some of the same speed improvements. FreeNX uses high optimized techniques to compress the X11 data, minimizing the amount of data that needs to be transferred, providing a responsive and real-time remote desktop experience.
