""The good old X Window system can be used over the
network, but it has issues with network latency and bandwidth.
Neatx remedies some of these issues," Google engineers wrote on the
company's open source blog.
"NoMachine had released parts of the source code to its NX
product under the GPL, but the NX server remained proprietary.
"There is a free implementation of an NX server based on
NoMachine's libraries named FreeNX, but this did not appeal to
Google.
"FreeNX's primary target is to replace the one closed component
and is written in a mix of several thousand lines of Bash, Expect
and C, making FreeNX difficult to maintain," according to
Google."
