  1. Nice script for a ugly product.
    Why does this NX stuff not work against older Server Versions ? (i.e. NX Commercial Server 1.6.x or FreeNX first generation)

    Such a product without *working* downwards comatibility is K.O. Criteria here.

    Perhaps it is a waste of time, to maintainance such a product.

    We’re going to switch to x2go …
