[FreeNX-kNX] Sabayon/xnest and FreeNX

[Florian Schmidt]

Hi,

I just tested sabayon on one of our NX Testservers:
RHEL 5 Update 4, (you can use also Centos) using our selfbuild NX and freenx
packages (NX-3.4) which can be found here:
http://www.kritzkratz.net/NX-Centos/

<http://www.kritzkratz.net/NX-Centos/>-
freenx-0.7.4.svn613.p2-0.x86_64.rpm<http://www.kritzkratz.net/NX-Centos/freenx-0.7.4.svn613.p2-0.x86_64.rpm>
<http://www.kritzkratz.net/NX-Centos/freenx-0.7.4.svn613.p2-0.x86_64.rpm>-
nx-3.4.0-5.el5.x86_64.rpm<http://www.kritzkratz.net/NX-Centos/nx-3.4.0-5.el5.x86_64.rpm>

Installed sabayon package: sabayon-2.12.4-6.el5.x86_64 -> included in rhel5
base repo (so works out of the box)

<http://www.kritzkratz.net/NX-Centos/nx-3.4.0-5.el5.x86_64.rpm>Everything
works fine, I allowed incomming x apps by doing a xhost+ and than started
sabayon as root. Do you need anything else tested (we don't use sabayon for
setting user desktops, we provide basic server configuration by using puppet
and for the desktop settings itself trust our users -> we provide basic
config but don't close down configuration menues).

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Florian
