Well, installing it is easy, getting it to work is another story.įirst, starting with Mountain Lion, Apple no longer ships OS X with X11 already installed so XQuartz must be downloaded and installed manually. Installing NX Server on OS X is challenging. NoMachine's NX client works on Windows, OS X and Linux and even works well on roaming profiles. All traffic goes over SSH and while the performance isn't as great as Windows' RDP, it's faster and more secure than VNC. NX, if you aren't familiar with it, is generally a PITA to setup, but well worth the pain (on Linux anyway). I recently discovered NoMachine's NX while looking for an easy way to encrypt VNC.
