[K12OSN] What is the limitations of free nx compared to nx server.

[Daniel Kuecker]

I had set up freenx on a stock k12ltsp. the only problem i had was
pam_mount did not work. the home dirs on a windows share did not mount.
I would love to use it, but I need to have access to windows homedir.

Actually, that's one of the touted benefits of the NX protocol, that it
can strip and 
compress X traffic down to low-bandwidth links like dial-up and still
give decent 
performance.  Thus, if your server has a T1 upload link, you ought to
be able to get 
~20+ freenx sessions going, assuming the server can handle the load. 
Caveat: I haven't 
tried this.  It seems several people have been thinking along the lines
of providing 
access to the server to students at home.  Since the server isn't
really in use after 
hours, it would seem to be feasible.  Anyone trying it yet?
