Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : nx Version : 1.3.99 Upstream Author : NoMachine * URL : http://www.nomachine.com/ * License : GPL Description : NoMachine NX - an X compression and roundtrip elimination system
NoMachine NX is the next-generation X compression and roundtrip suppression scheme. It can operate remote X11 sessions over 56k modem dialup links or anything better. Package is being split as follows: Package: nxagent Description: NoMachine NX - nesting X server with roundtrip suppression NoMachine NX is the next-generation X compression and roundtrip suppression scheme. It can operate remote X11 sessions over 56k modem dialup links or anything better. . The nxagent is an X server based on Xnest, but modified for the purpose of reducing roundtrips over high-latency networks significantly. It is run on the client side of X, that is, on the machine where X clients run. It connects, over the wire, to your regular X server, possibly through nxproxy. Package: nxproxy Description: NoMachine NX - X protocol compression proxy NoMachine NX is the next-generation X compression and roundtrip suppression scheme. It can operate remote X11 sessions over 56k modem dialup links or anything better. . The nxproxy runs on the X server side of the wire and thus accompanies the nxagent running on X client side. It provides the protocol compression and caching part of the NX scheme. Plus the compression libraries used by those: libnxcomp0 and libnxcompext0. Also nxssh will be packaged as part of nx source package. Preliminary packages (still lacking documentation and much polish) can be found in kalyxo staging archive: deb http://www.kalyxo.org/debian experimental main They already build and install, but are rather tricky to use. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.6-1-686 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8
