seconded!

And ironically it is against the rules of war to withhold food for pow's.

But he only knows one tune...

He's probably confusing freeNX, which does appear to be abandoned, with NoMachine 3.5. People seem to think a mature code base that doesn't need constant bug fixes is abandoned.

I had some problems with it on openSUSE 12.2, maybe I will give it another try. Thanks.

I spent afew days last month playing around with my home server which has been using freenx. I tried x2go and the beta version of No Machines server, as well as the old version. Nothing worked properly. I was able to get freeNX working properly. Admittedly this appears to be an OpenSUSE 12.2 issue, but I was able to find references to help me for freeNX and nothing was forthcoming for the other two.

I use FreeNX and get better results then the free version of NoMachine's server.

My home server runs OpenSuse and FreeNX. i access it across the internet all the time. They even have a java client that allows you to access it from PC's that don't have the client installed. No support for Android yet...

NoMachine or freenx handles this on Linux, however their new version is closed source.

I still use freenx to get a hosted web browser that ignores any limitations on local traffic.

Intellinet??

It's all about cost benefit. What is the cost to prevent outbound connections? It creates alot of work for me and something nasty is probably going to sneak out through a commonly allowed port.

What is the cost to prevent inbound connections, practically nil. If something wants in, I can make a judgement and allow it. I can limit the type of traffic or source of inbound traffic on a specific port. I don't have to trust random developer to use tight restrictions.

Allowing upnp on any sort of "secure" setting is irresponsible and dangerous.

This problem has been solved with key based authentication. You should look into it.

OpenVPN is very simple if you know what your doing. Unfortunately most SMB's don't, and they don't realize the need to pay someone who does.

Welcome to the age of virtualization and emulation.

I thought the flags were too small to be seen and I read a recent article indicating they would be bleached white by the sun by now.

If we had actually gone to the moon and left flags there.
(jk, only a true maroon would think the moon landing was fake)
