[smc-discuss] [fsug-tvm] Re: Open source -Remote administration tool?

[Razee Marikar]

If you want remove GUI, check out implementations of NX. Its pretty efficient compared to VNC and remote X, and used to work better at lower bandwidth links and even better with high bandwidth. It used to work over regular SSH (needs an additional user in the target/server called nx). Newer versions work in a different way. Free(dom/beer) versions are available at several sources. I used to use Neatx by Google (server only, https://code.google.com/p/neatx/, GPL v2), and Free NX(server and client https://launchpad.net/~freenx-team/+archive/ppa, GPL v2). NoMachine, who made the protocol have their versions too, but they have limited features for free(beer), and nothing is free(dom) except the protocol itself I think.

I think this will solve my issue. It seems more efficient in terms of
resource usage and simplicity. Let me try it.

As far as my understanding iTalc is VNC clone.
