Actually, I have already done exactly that using SuSE 10.0 on an AMD 64 box. Using freeNX, I set up old boxes in each of the kids rooms and put up a wireless network, now everyone has the equivalent of a new computer. NX is fast enough that there is very little if any delay for normal computing over our wireless network, although for games, the kids generally log directly into the main server. I also set up an account for my mom, who lives in another state, and for people at work who are interested in learning about Linux, but aren't quite ready to install yet. FreeNX is the greatest software since the web browser!

Cheers

### "FreeNX is the greatest software since the web browser!"

I agree -- to a large degree.

But it is so, because the foundation of FreeNX, the NoMachine NX Core libraries and utilities, were released under the GPL, and not kept proprietary by their creators.

On our own, the FreeNX development team could never, ever -- I repeat: never, ever! -- have created a thing like FreeNX is now.

Cheers,
Kurt [FreeNX development team member]
