Suggested supplemental material:

How is FreeNX different from VNC? How is it different from XDMCP based session?

"NX also tunnels Remote Desktop Protocol (for Windows Terminal Server sessions) and remote VNC sessions (all types of OS platforms) and lets them benefit from the same speed improvements."

From what I understand, the speed increase from using nx as opposed to VNC comes from actually sending information from Xorg as to how the screen should be displayed whearas VNC just transfers images. I believe the above statement is wrong.~

Can't see any mention of the fact you can run the nx client on windows... EAi 00:09, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:NXClientWindows FairUseCropped.png

Image:NXClientWindows FairUseCropped.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
