[K12OSN] Re: K12LTSP across the Wan - NX status?

[Ramon]

You don't even need to buy a license, you can get the server software for free.
do a:
$ yum install nx freenx

There you have it, now you need to put the server encryption into the client access
side and your set.
Just remember to open up port 1000.
Peace
