Designed from scratch with flexibility and maintainability in mind, Neatx minimizes the number of involved processes and all code is split into several libraries. Last week, we released the source code of our own proof-of-concept implementation of an NX server, Neatx. FreeNX's primary target is to replace the one closed component and is written in a mix of several thousand lines of BASH, Expect and C, making FreeNX difficult to maintain.
It's the part connecting clients with the Open Source libraries doing the work.Ī free implementation of an NX server based on NoMachine's libraries named FreeNX was published in 2004 by Fabian Franz. Although mostly Open Source, NoMachine's NX product contains one closed component, the NX server. NX is a protocol compressing X requests and reducing round-trips. In 2003, NoMachine released a large portion of the source code of their NX product under the GPL licence.
The good old X Window system can be used over the network, but it has issues with network latency and bandwidth. We at Google have been looking at remote desktop technologies for quite a while.
