With Apple's release of OSX 10.7 (Lion), the situation has changed. When the machine died, I was able to virtualize a backup of it and used that for development. Unfortunately, that machine died and my employer does not see the need to purchase a new machine (we don't do Mac Software at that company). Until September 2010, I had access to an old iMac running OSX 10.5 at my employer. Another one is Google's NeatX, which however does not yet provide the full feature set. In addition to NoMachine's commercial server, there are several open source implementations available. Build instructions can be found in the Wiki.īecause OpenNX uses NX technology for providing a remote desktop display, in order to use OpenNX you must have access to a NX server installation. For those, who want to build OpenNX from source, we recommend building from SVN. Binaries for OpenBSD are available in the official OpenBSD ports tree. Currently, binaries are available for various Linux distributions as well as Mac OSX and Windows. Using wxWidgets for multi platform capabilities, OpenNX runs on Unix systems, Mac OSX and Windows.

OpenNX is distributed under the GNU Lesser Public License v2.1. It is compatible to the original client in that it uses the same syntax for the session configuration files (.nxs files). OpenNX is an open source drop in replacement for NoMachine's NX client.
