NoMachine NX and FreeNX

NXServer and NXClient are very good software to log into Linux system remotely. You could download the free edition from NoMachine. The free edition limits the number of users, so only 2 users can use the NX.

There is another option to use NX, which is FreeNX. How to install FreeNX could be found at Ubuntu help. FreeNX is an open source software and has no limitation on number of users.

FreeNX has the problem of colour missing. This could be solved by add a symbolic link.

ln -s /etc/X11/rgb.txt /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb.txt

Because nxagent is looking for rgb.txt in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11, which does not exist.
