It only took me about one minute, but I thought I might just write down the quick and dirty hack that I just did to get NoMachine’s free terminal server package (which allows two clients to connect at a time…) on Linux.

I used to install FreeNX back in the day when it was released, but I have since learnt that it is just much easier to install the free version of NoMachine, especially for my own personal use. Note: If you're using Arch Linux, you can download NoMachine easily using an AUR helper like yay.If you have never used NoMachine before, it is a fantastic technology that allows you to have a Terminal Server for X on Linux, similar to XenApp for Windows.

NoMachine, like VNC, is a remote desktop tool that can be used to access your desktop from anywhere. To use Nomachine, you will need to have an account on the remote computer. Once it is installed, open the application and enter your credentials. To install NoMachine, you'll have to download the latest package archive from the website and install it manually on your computer. To install it, open the Ubuntu Software Center and search for Nomachine. Next, select the protocol from the dropdown menu and hit Connect. Then, provide a name to your connection and supply the port details. To add a connection, click on the Add button and enter the server address next to the Host label. With NoMachine, you get to choose between three different protocols for your connections, namely NX (direct connection over the internet), SSH (secure shell connection), and HTTPS (secure connection through a web browser). Instead, users have to manually add a connection and NoMachine will automatically save the connection details for future reference. Primarily because both of them have a similar look and feel.īut unlike TeamViewer, you don't use the username and password for the connection.

If you've used TeamViewer before, you're likely to find NoMachine better than the rest of the apps on this list.
