dot.kde.org: Preview on kNX Client and FreeNX Server for LinuxTag Visitors

2004-07-09  by: Sarah Dryell
THE INTERNET, June 27th, 2004 - A Task Force Team of KDE and Knoppix hackers and enthusiasts created "just in time" for LinuxTag 2004 two programs which harvested an overwhelming response from visitors: FreeNX Server and kNX Client. Although not yet officially released, several presentations showed a well working preview of the KDE version for the speed boosting NX Terminal Server technology.

[] Therefore NX technology is expected to have a huge impact on Thin Client architectures as well as well as mobile computing. Enterprises, Internet cafes and similar users already appreciate KDE's Kiosk framework which provides a simple way to disable certain features in KDE to create a more controlled environment. With mature technologies like Kiosk as well as FreeNX KDE proves to be the ideal choice for Terminal and Application Server deployment. Both the FreeNX Client and the FreeNX Server will be available soon at Kalyxo.org. []

Technology Brief
Data encryption and security

NX security is guaranteed at every layer involved in the communication process. NX uses SSH public-key encryption and 128 bit volatile random cookie generation.

Multimedia support

NX transparently tunnels Linux multimedia channels. Not only does NX play KDE and Gnome system sounds, but you can listen to MP3s played on the server and local workstation simultaneously.

Unified support for all major remote desktop protocols

Thanks to its outstanding compression performances, NX is able to deliver X, RDP and RFB remote sessions using the same client. This is achieved by translating "foreign" protocols into X-Window, the native protocol of NX.
