NoMachine's NX Client receives an 8/10 rating and according to Nick Veitch's review, appearing in Linux Format and on Techradar, is one of the best Linux remote desktop clients available in today's market. appearing in Linux Format and on Techradar, is one of the best Linux remote desktop clients available in today's market.

The review speaks of NoMachine's simple philosophy where every aspect of remote display fits into a server-client software relationship, creating an approach completely different from the standard VNC setup. Using SSH encryption, the NX protocol delivers a high level of security. Bandwidth usage is reduced through NX's smart data compression methods and clever caching.

Recognized for multi-platform support, NoMachine NX also supports RPC for Windows machines using a similar interface and acting as a general remote access tool. Acknowledging NoMachine's flexibility, the article mentions the ability to make NX sessions easily available with easy pre-configuration from the NX Client software and then being able to save them as settings.

Some of the functionalities that were questioned in this article will be addressed and improved with the upcoming NX 4.0 release. Firstly, the number of software packages to install on the server side can often be the main obstacle for newcomers. For this reason, NoMachine is introducing a new easy-to-install product, NX Connect, which will provide users with one unique software package that installs NX Client, Node and Server automatically without the need for any further configuration.

Second, to make the NX Client more user-friendly and visually appealing, NoMachine has completely redesigned the GUI with NX 4.0. Services and settings can all be managed at one place inside the session at anytime, including session configuration. This will be possible via the new utility toolbar offering users on-the-fly access to an array of functionalities.

Last, this article mentions NoMachine's lack of server software for Windows and Mac, but with the quickly approaching release of NX 4.0, this will no longer be true. In NX 4.0, NoMachine has extended native platform support by offering NX Connect for Windows and Mac OS.

Regarding these questioned functionalities, Nick Veitch writes, "But all that goes by the by when you see it run. Whatever magic pixies sit in the pipes pushing the data through, they do an incredible job. NX on NX definitely gives the best user experience..."

NX 4.0 will not only deliver an impressive and powerful feature-set, it will bring with it a whole new concept of remote desktop access offering state-of-the art performance and portability. To learn more about NoMachine NX 4.0 visit http://www.nomachine.com/coming-up.php.
