Until September 2010, I had access to an old iMac running OSX 10.5 at my employer. Another one is Google's NeatX, which however does not yet provide the full feature set. In addition to NoMachine's commercial server, there are several open source implementations available. Build instructions can be found in the Wiki.īecause OpenNX uses NX technology for providing a remote desktop display, in order to use OpenNX you must have access to a NX server installation. For those, who want to build OpenNX from source, we recommend building from SVN. Binaries for OpenBSD are available in the official OpenBSD ports tree. Currently, binaries are available for various Linux distributions as well as Mac OSX and Windows. Using wxWidgets for multi platform capabilities, OpenNX runs on Unix systems, Mac OSX and Windows.

Uses libjpeg-turbo for speed improvement (if available).

Dynamic use of libsmbclient, libcups, libopensc and pulseaudio (no static dependencies).

Ability to disable configuration controls by providing a read only configuration file.

Ability to fetch session configuration files via http (read only).

Ability to use a variety of different proxy types.

Ability to use the OpenSC framework to enable SmartCard based authentication for the initial SSH connection.

Compared to the original client, it also adds some additional features which improve usability: OpenNX is written in C++ and uses the excellent wxWidgets toolkit. OpenNX is distributed under the GNU Lesser Public License v2.1.

It is compatible to the original client in that it uses the same syntax for the session configuration files (.nxs files).

OpenNX is an open source drop in replacement for NoMachine's NX client.
