[FreeNX-kNX] NX Version Questions

[Alastair Johnson]

AFAIK the current fedora RPMs use the 2.1 NX libraries. I don't know if Rick 
had to change anything in order to use them, and I don't know what's used in 
other distros.

The nomachine nxclient isn't strictly required on the server. noachine use it 
to provide certian dialog boxes for the server. FreeNX has a script called 
nxclient which isn't really a client, but acts to provide the dialog boxes 
required on the server end. It will delegate to the nomachine nxclient if 
it's installed though. The nomachine v1.5 client generally gives prettier 
boxes than the FreeNX script. I've not tried it with v2.x yet.

Printing will probably require some post-install modifications which have been 
described on the list, but AFAIK haven't been incorporated in the current 
version yet. In particular if you're using CUPS 1.2 you will need to have a 
look for Marcel's recent posts on getting that going.
