Suggested supplemental material

How is FreeNX different from VNC? How is it different from XDMCP based session?

"NX also tunnels Remote Desktop Protocol (for Windows Terminal Server sessions) and remote VNC sessions (all types of OS platforms) and lets them benefit from the same speed improvements."

From what I understand, the speed increase from using nx as opposed to VNC comes from actually sending information from Xorg as to how the screen should be displayed whearas VNC just transfers images. I believe the above statement is wrong.~

Can't see any mention of the fact you can run the nx client on windows... EAi 00:09, 18 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Tunneling vs. converting, and proxy vs. application server

As far as I understand, NX does not tunnel RDP and VNC, but it converts these protocols to compressed X11. The NX node contains its own X11 display server which allows to display RDP and VNC. Then the resulting X11 drawing commands are compressed and sent to the client.

As a consequence, the NX client needs not know about RDP or VNC.

The word "proxy" seems wrong to me too. In the case of RDP and VNC, the node acts as an application server, not a proxy.

In the case of X11 data, the node can behave both as a proxy (X server on the client), or as an application server (X server on the node). The round-trips are avoided only in the second case.

Could someone with better knowledge of NX than I have fix the page, or prove me wrong? MathsPoetry (talk) 12:32, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:NXClientWindows FairUseCropped.png

Image:NXClientWindows FairUseCropped.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

File:NXClientWindows FairUseCropped.png Nominated for speedy Deletion

	An image used in this article, File:NXClientWindows FairUseCropped.png, has been nominated for speedy deletion at Wikimedia Commons for the following reason: Other speedy deletions What should I do?
	Speedy deletions at commons tend to take longer than they do on Wikipedia, so there is no rush to respond. If you feel the deletion can be contested then please do so (commons:COM:SPEEDY has further information). Otherwise consider finding a replacement image before deletion occurs.

client, server, ...?

Re: "NX software is currently available for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and Solaris. NoMachine has clients available for Windows and Mac OS X", is the first sentence about the NX server, whereas the second sentence is about the NX client? And while i'm at it, does "client" mean the end-user side, or the other way around, à la X-Window? --Jerome Potts (talk) 07:36, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What about sound?

Does any of the NX software forward sound? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.38.196.235 (talk) 23:10, 13 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

New protocol

Version 4.n uses SSL instead of SSH, and the change introduces complications. Perhaps a NoMachine person would step in to explain this all please? Rleir (talk) 14:38, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have just added archive links to one external link on NX technology. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

Added archive http://web.archive.org/web/20050803005415/http://freenx.berlios.de:80/ to http://freenx.berlios.de/

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{Sourcecheck}}).

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on NX technology. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:
