<div>After doing a "yum install freenx", installing the client on Windows and copying over the .key file to the /home/user and also importing it into the client, logging in from Windows and getting a terminal is as easy as double clicking the desktop shortcut. I have only tried this on the LAN and also using the external address which works too (just forward to port 22 or whatever freenx is listening on) and so far I have to say that I am extremely impressed with how smooth everything is. </div> <div> </div> <div>My only complaint is that it's Fedora! :P</div> <div> </div> <div>P.S. my test users so far can't get sound, they get /dev/dsp permission denied.... </div> <div>On 11/4/06, Theo Turner <<a href="mailto:Theo.Turner@cumnorhouse.com">Theo.Turner@cumnorhouse.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="PADDING-LEFT: 1ex; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; BORDER-LEFT: #ccc 1px solid"> <div lang="EN-US" vlink="blue" link="blue"> <div> I'm using this method as well. The big advantage I have found is that sound works without any hassle over compatible hardware as windows handles the drivers. To make access simple I have created an LTSP user on windows and changed the shell to a customized replacement. This way they only have two options, open NX or Log Off. They can now logon to a linux desktop in 15seconds right from the windows logon screen. And that is record time for windows!
