Fabian, I just had a look at the FreeNX_FAQ (a very good work in
progress)

An excellent command line client to add is Lawrence's nxconnect, he sent
me the source a few days, I had no trouble building it on my "arm"
board. I use it in interactive mode [-i] and simply enter my login id
and password...... 7 seconds after pressing enter, I am looking at my
desktop.

I have a feeling that if he finds the time, Lawrence may be the "one" to
come up with a lightweight GPL NX client that supports all platforms.
(equivalent to the NoMachine client)

I have tried kNX but it is tightly integrated with the KDE libraries (as
you would expect being a KDE project). I needed a lightweight NX client
for a project that I have been working on for a few years now and
nxconnect is just what I was looking for.


Thanks Guys,


John
