For those who have problems there is an alternative - pay Nomachine for 
a license.  They are reasonably priced and provide the support than 
some organizations need.

We need the open source efforts like freenx/nxc, but there is also a 
need for a strong and viable Nomachine.  We need people who can't make 
our alternative work to pursue the commercial path and we should 
encourage them to do so.
