FreeNX or VNC, which is generally more secure? I am just wondering since both give encryption.
I know FreeNX generally uses SSH which is very secure.

I find FreeNX is quite unresponsive compare to VNC when using over LAN.
I run Netbeans inside a Quad Core Server and remote desktop to it through both NX & VNC.
For VNC, the screen will be nicely updated as I scroll the Netbean IDE
For FreeNX, flickering happened and the mouse cursor become unresponsive…

Hi.
I'm running a FreeNX server on headless CentOS machine, and the resolution seems to be locked on 800 x 600. I tried editing the xorg.conf file, but without success so far.
Has anyone succeed of running the FreeNX remote under 1280 x 1024 resolution, and can post a working configuration?
Thanks…

Recently I installed FreeNX on my PC and when I login with my 'dev' account I get the Unity interface rather than Classic Gnome. This is odd as my last login before FreeNX was with the Classic interface. I would like to have Classic over FreeNX by default.
I do login with a 'watch iplayer' account…

Ubuntu 11.04
gridengine version 6.2u5-1ubuntu1
I start a desktop with the vncserver command.
My ~/.vnc/xstartup ends with 'gnome-session'.
I connect to it using chicken-of-the-VNC on my MacOSX Lion system.
I run 'qmon'. Much of qmon works, but several critical tasks show hopelessly garbled grid…

I have 3 machines. 2 Macs, 1 Dell.
1 of the Macs is running as a VNC server and the other Mac connects great with Chicken of the VNC.
Sadly, this app does not exist for Windows so I'm using RealVNC to view from Windows.
I connect the exact same way as with the Mac, but on Windows when it connects…

1 Ubuntu Server desktop (Version 10.04)
1 Mac Mini (Snow Leopard)

1 Windows laptop (Windows Vista)
The first three will always be on the home network. My goal is to SSH from the laptop into the server and be able, through VNC (or another…

I found out that when I press the Insert key on the client I will block the OS X VNC server by putting it in a "help mode" where you get the question mark mouse cursor.
The mouse works but I cannot use the keyboard anymore.
Details:
Reconnecting using VNC does not help
Normal keyboard is working…

Tip of the Trade: VNC makes it easy to log into a full desktop on a remote server. Follow these steps, and your Debian Linux server will be up and running in no time.
