NX 3.x was KVM based ( with enhancements ), thus the only viable remote desktop protocols that I know of are KVM and RDP ( MS's Remote Desktop Protocol ). Anything else really does not apply.
With today's network speeds I basically use KVM ( tunneled via SSH ) Even install in on my work MS Windows servers. I would recommend trying to strike up a conversation on the NX IRC channel and see if there is a way to get NX 4.x to do what you need. NX is still the best solution, with VNC a fallback if there is no other way. On 08/26/2014 03:35 PM, John Mort wrote: > Up until now I've been using NoMachine version 3.X, and been happy > with it.
