ROME, Italy, May 27, 2008 - NoMachine makes available the first
maintenance release of NX Server and NX Node 3.2.0. These new versions
provide fixes for a number of issues such as:
- NX server
doesn't check the exit code when executing custom scripts and allows
the session to be started even when the script has failed.
- In fullscreen mode Gnome panels may stay on top of the NX session window when running a session with Compiz enabled.
- In
shadow sessions the shadowers keyboard layout may be wrong when
shadower and shadowee have different language layouts for their
keyboards.
- The X11 agent minimizes to icon if it loses the focus when running fullscreen and the mouse pointer meets the screen boundary.

Installation
Installation
of NX Server for Linux requires the download and installation of three
packages: client, node and server. The client is needed because it
ships libraries used by the node. The node is needed because it ships
tools needed by the server. Furthermore, the SSH server daemon (SSHD)
needs to be up and running on each of the NX Node machines since NX
relies on the mechanism provided by the SSH subsystem for handling user
authentication.
Installation instructions for Linux and Solaris
SPARC platforms use the sudo utility. If you don't have it installed,
log on as superuser ("root") and run the commands without sudo.
