NX 3.x was KVM based ( with enhancements ), thus the only viable remote

Protocol ). Anything else really does not apply.
With today's network speeds I basically use KVM ( tunneled via SSH )
Even install in on my work MS Windows servers.
I would recommend trying to strike up a conversation on the NX IRC
channel and see if there is a way to get NX 4.x to do what you need. NX
is still the best solution, with VNC a fallback if there is no other way.

Up until now I've been using NoMachine version 3.X, and been happy
with it. However, version 4 is out now and wants you to connect to
the physical display (a pain when connecting to a machine that has
multiple monitors) rather than a virtual display, and while version 3
still works for me for now, I'm already having to use workarounds like
connecting to xfce instead of gnome.
So I guess it's time for me to look at other options so I can make a
switch before an update makes NX 3.X completely inoperable. As a
starting point, I was wondering what you guys use for remote desktop?
Had forgotten about X2Go (http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php). It uses the
NX3 technology (but their own copy of the server/client). So something
else you could look into. Don't think it would work for my scenario, as
I'd rather have something I could run right from the display manager,
without having to log into a session at all.
