running nx client from linux

i don't know if you ever used nomachine-nx to access your linux machines, its much better in performance compared to vnc.

there is a client for solaris/sparc, but as you may guess, it doesn't work on intel/amd platform.

anyway there are efforts on making an opensolaris nxclient for intel platform, you can try to compile it

or you can try to install a precompiled one for solaris:

or there is one without dependencies only for opensolaris
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/awards/awards_land/Entries/ (the second one,Port NX+freenx to Solaris x86), i don't remember if this one had client in tar.gz.

or you can try this one

http://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=83962, there is a link to

anyway, i was unlucky i couldn't get neither them working, - i didn't spend too much time to be honest -, so as a workaround, i make

aybars@opensolaris:~$ ssh -X 192.168.1.64
aybars@ubuntu:~$ /usr/NX/bin/nxclient &

it works as expected.
