Re: [K12OSN] VNC and LTSP terminal client problem

[Petre Scheie <petre maltzen net>]

I'll second that, with one caveat.  VNC is better than having to drive to the server, 
but NX is like being there, real time.  The caveat is that I have two systems in 
different locations, running the same version of K12LTSP, 4.2.2.  On one, NX works like 
a champ; on the other, I cannot get connected.  Plus, on the one that works, I've got a 
buddy who cannot connect it.  So, it's great when it works, but it's a bit inconsistent 
for me so far.
