  ==== Is X2Go compatible with NoMachine's NX or freeNX? ====
  
  No. It is not possible to use NX client to log
on to an X2Go server and vice versa.

  Nowadays the NX libs shipped with X2Go work as a replacement for the NXv3 that are not maintained by NoMachine anymore.

+ ==== Why are you using the terms "nx-libs" and "NX libraries" when X2Go uses the 2 executables nxproxy & nxagent?  ====
+ 
+ Basically:
+ 
+   - That is the term that was always used.
+   - Libraries are created also from the source package.
+   - Those libraries define the NX protocol.
+ 
+ Note that originally, "nx-libs" was not a single git repo. Instead, it was 7 separate tarballs:
+ 
+   - nxcomp
+   - nxcompext
+   - nxcompshad
+   - nxproxy
+   - nxagent
+   - nxauth
+   - nx-X11
+ 
+ Only the 1st 3 are libraries.
+ 
+ Having separate tarballs made maintenance
more difficult, so they were combined into one as the X2Go project started redistributing them.
  
  ==== What is the difference to LTSP? Why a free thin client environment? ====
  
  LTSP requires a high bandwidth on your network. It can efficiently be used in Local Area Networks (LANs) only.
