[K12OSN] What is the limitations of free nx compared to nx server.

[Glenn Arnold]

I am working on trying this out, but I have to plan out some security
safeguards if a students account gets compromised.

Actually, that's one of the touted benefits of the NX protocol, that it
can strip and 
compress X traffic down to low-bandwidth links like dial-up and still
give decent 
performance.  Thus, if your server has a T1 upload link, you ought to be
able to get 
~20+ freenx sessions going, assuming the server can handle the load.
Caveat: I haven't 
tried this.  It seems several people have been thinking along the lines
of providing 
access to the server to students at home.  Since the server isn't really
in use after 
hours, it would seem to be feasible.  Anyone trying it yet?
