Leaders of the FreeNX development project announced the upcoming release of FreeNX-0.5.0, "The LWE San Francisco Release -- 'Seamless Printing' Edition." The general public is free to download this new version of the software http://debian.tu-bs.de/knoppix/nx/lwe-release/
FreeNX is a Free terminal server software. It is based on the NX Core Libraries released by NoMachine.com under the GPL Free Software license. The program connects a local workstations to remote desktop PCs, servers or individual applications running remotely, independent of the underlying operating system. FreeNX is differentiated from other remote access software products by its ability to present a snappy, life-like remote desktop experience even over low-bandwidth (dial-up) connectivity. Its broadband remote performance is also outstanding. The new "seamless printing" feature enables Linux users to print from within their remotely running sessions to their local printers without any additional setting ("zero-config") and without needing to install an NX session printer driver ("seamless").
NX is a product of Nomachine, of Rome, Italy. NoMachine sells licenses and support for the full-blown product. NoMachine have donated the NX Core libraries to the Open Source world and support the FreeNX Project to implement a fully GPL'd implementation of an NX server that is also technically compatible with their commercial offering so that all users who are not in need of professional support can enjoy remote desktop computing.
FreeNX is Free Software. It is free to use and redistribute under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL). The FreeNX project is hosted at freenx.berlios.de. Its community of developers welcomes participation and new contributions from technologists, students, companies and other interested parties. |
