[K12OSN] Fltk Teacher Tool and ldap

[Glenn Arnold]

I have been considering NX, but since NX was not part of the standard
K12LTSP 5.0 pacakage I was not sure how stable it was with K12LTSP.  I
believe there is some test packages that can be download form ltsp.org
or the k12ltsp site.  Dave, do you use one of those packages or  do you
compile your own from nx website?
 
Thanks
-Glenn

Try using NX.  I've been using it for well over a year now to run yumex
on our schools K12LTSP computers from the comfort of home.  (I, too,
usually prefer GUI tools when available)  We run freenx on servers and I
use NoMachine's clients to connect.
