The NX approach provides intelligent compression of the X11 protocol headers, employes effective caching of common graphic elements and supresses most of the usual round trip traffic normally associated with X11 traffic. On top of this, there is lower CPU overhead than traditional ZLIB compression. The differences are massive in NX's favor. My experience with the technology is that there are some occasional quirks that need to be worked out. I mostly work with the FreeNX implementation 0.6.0.1. But I also have a machine that runs Nomachine's Free Server for Linux (2 user license). I think some of the problems I experience are due to the fact that I run multiple instances of the NXClient talking to accounts on various machines. -Joe Baker ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
