Okay, thanks Franz :)
This is what you need on server-side:
apt-get install nxserver nxagent
nxserver: FreeNX application/thin-client server based on NX technology
nxagent: turns off round-trips by emulating a local x-server
Dependencies: expect freenx libnxcomp0 libnxcompext0 nxlibs nxproxy
Space after unpacking: abt. 4M
Alternatives to nxagent:
nxviewer: interface for vnc
nxdesktop: interface to ms-w2k-TS
These are the informations FF gave us during our Working Weekend at
Guetersloh. In order to contact the Server,
- create a new ssh-key for nx by evoking:
nxsetup --setup-nomachine-key
- make sure your firewall forwards port 22 to ltspserver00
- download an nx-client for your home platform (lx/mac/w32)
from http://nomachine.com/download.php
- use secure encryption (SLS) to reuse the ssh-control-tunnel
for your session.
- enable nxagent for normal sessions to avoid roundtrips
- disable nxagent if you use apps with 3d/glx statements,
as those are not supported by nxagent, yet.
Please report, if this works for you - couldn't try myself yet.
NX is said to run even faster than citrix - and it allows you editing
your remote file by means of remotely running apps - so you need not
even transfer the files themselves to and fro :)
For increased performance with use of LTSP, I am still looking for the
right LTSP modules - but I do know, they are somewhere out there :)

Ralf
