</div>I'm not sure I would call it a "complete fork of nx" but rather a<br>
separate package based on the NX libraries. It's not compatible with<br>
any of the NX clients (NoMachine, FreeNX, or Remmina) and you have to<br>
use their client with their server.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>True. And the gui on CentOS6 is rather a bit flaky.
