Hey Trond ;) In this case, we are looking forward to your contributions to our http://wiki.skolelinux.de/FAQ ;)

Today, I managed to bind my thin clients to LTSPserver's freeNX (using a short description by GeorgDamm). However I was disappointed that graphical applications (animations like supertux or youtube) were much slower this way than in a plain X session.

NX is mainly a compression and access system, that run on top of X11/rdp. so it's still X11 that's running all along. so in a regular thin client network where you have enoughf bandwith for each client, using NX is not much use. It will only make you'r clients have to use cpu for compression/decompression, It's when bandwith is taxed that NX shines.

my school contact  uses it for:
windows laptops access to linux desktop in the main server network.
desktop access from home, for teachers and students. Mainly tru the nxapplet on a website.

I have tested it on a 33kbps dialup. usable for non grafical work.
