Well, Khalid, I installed NoMachine on my laptop at work, then on a couple
of desktops at home, and everything worked fine.. until I got an email from
the Security Team saying das ist verbotten... Well, we tried!
But corporate politics aside, I did think that NoMachine was snappy, and
actually had a better video than VNC (better looking screen).
Perhaps another time, another place, I might be able to use it again...
