Tom Adelstein has been writing a series in LinuxJournal entitled "Linux in Government", all of which have been well worth reading. Now he's added to the series with this account of FreeNX - "imagine X server technology with compression so tight that GNOME and KDE sessions run over modems with SSH encryption. Imagine lightening-fast thin clients that use tiny amounts of bandwidth and handle audio and video, printing and session suspension instead of termination." Something to think about!

We are using it to link staff Windows laptops to our thin client network, and allow student access to their accounts at school from home. Part of our Cutter deployment. Results are extremely impressive.
