Comparing VNC to NX? VNC: - VNC is dumb protocol that does not care about the underlying X protocol in any way - because it is so simple, VNC can run on Linux/Windows/any OS - VNC is the most compatible - everything that worked with the plain X will work under VNC - free
NX: - NX is an enhancement of X so it works tightly with X -> there will never be any NX server for Windows (can't be) - much better compression ratio, where work via VNC is impossible you can do via NX well - theoretically you could also use HW acceleration (OpenGL/AIGLX & compiz fancy stuff) - something you can never do with VNC - much more complicated so some apps might now work correctly with it. - graphics rendering is done on the client side -> bit less server HW demanding - not free (well there is the freenx project but I have never tried that) Ondrej SZABO Zsolt wrote: > On Thu, 3 Apr 2008, Ondrej Valousek wrote: > > >> That's what I am saying - my wrapper script solves this and many other >> problems I had. >> > > Oh, I misunderstood... now, I see. :-) > > Have you also got some info page about the server (CPUs, RAM, swap, etc.), > the thin clients, the number of users of nxclient, and the typically used > applications in a session, or the critical things concerning the > previous list? > > Btw. has VNC benefit over nxclient?
