NX doesn't get the love it deserves

NoMachine's NX (the original) is a proprietary product in a free-software world. That doesn't really surprise me.

x2go is really nice, and is free software: http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/start

Like GP I am using an older desktop, OpenBox+ROX Filer, basically the same desktop I was using in 1999. Very fast over remote, maximally fast locally. Doubt I'll ever change.

The core NX compression technology was available to everyone up until 3.5.0. This sparked x2go, neatx, freenx and opennx. Are there any more derivatives to add to that list which we should thank NX for?
