Yes, I'm sure there are tricks to make other tools work, but the point
is that freenx/NX is so good that there's not much reason to ever do
things differently than you would at an X-capable console.

Keeping freenx sessions parked with ongoing jobs doesn't do anything
to stop you from ssh'ing in from lesser platforms.

I do that once in a while, but generally have the laptop available and
if I actually have to type something I'll fire it up.   NX even works
reasonably well with the laptop tethered to the phone in the middle of
nowhere.
