What is Neatx

Neatx is an Open Source NX server, similar to the commercial NX server from NoMachine. If you're not familiar with NX, these links might help:

• Wikipedia article on NX technology

History

Neatx was developed by Google for an internal project. That project is now finished, and the source was released for the community to use/develop/benefit from. A couple of Google employees are doing sporadic releases and maintenance in their spare time.

Mailing list

You can use neatx@googlegroups.com for both user discussions and development questions.

Getting Neatx

At the moment, we're not doing releases as we're constantly fixing small things as people try out the codebase. In the meantime, the best way to get neatx is to check it out from svn.
