FreeNX

The NX protocol aims at offering a stateful desktop session to remote users, like VNC. The most prominent difference is that NX requires less bandwidth. FreeNX is one implementation of the NX protocol.

SUSE 13.1

This is how I installed a FreeNX server on SUSE 13.1x32 on 2014-07-19:

• open a console and enter

# yast -i expect rdesktop
# wget http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/beyerle:/NX/openSUSE_13.1/i586/NX-3.5.0-123.1.i586.rpm
# wget http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/beyerle:/NX/openSUSE_13.1/i586/FreeNX-0.7.3-7.1.i586.rpm
# rpm -ivh NX-3.5.0-123.1.i586.rpm FreeNX-0.7.3-7.1.i586.rpm

• read how to set it up

# cat /usr/share/doc/packages/FreeNX/README.SuSE

• set it up

# nxsetup --setup-nomachine-key
