Note that x2go does approximately the same as freenx/NX, using some of the same supporting libraries. However, it is all open source, including the cross-platform clients. I had some problems with earlier versions, but the current version seems pretty good and might be worth another look. It is somewhat nicer than the old NX client on windows because it allows resizing the window after startup - and resizes the remote desktop to match. It also claims to connect audio and client disk shares, but I haven't used those features. A couple of things that can cause long delays that seem kind of random are the first of your DNS servers failing with a timeout before the retry to the good one, or something that does an IDENT query to log the remote socket user hitting a firewall that silently drops the packet instead of rejecting with an ICMP. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
