Rumor was sometime back that this was mostly repackaged nx. 
Not sure
it that is so or not.  There are several projects out there
already 
doing all this with freenx.  A search of their maillist
would likely 
yield some productive links.

I would love to see a demo of freenx or something of the
like.  I'll 
even donate hardware toward the demo.

I'll commit to doing something on FreeNX, not on the
original link.

March might be doable, April I could commit to for sure. 
The only 
piece that might be interesting to add would be a M$ box to
show 
how one can run a Linux desktop or app with the NX client.

This is fantastic stuff!  I tunnel an ssh connection through
2 hops, 
to a machine where an FreeNX server is installed,  start the
NX 
client on a machine here (home) connected to the ssh tunnel.
 I can 
display and use very well a full KDE desktop over dialup. 
Way cool!  
It beats the pants off of *any* VNC variants, which I've
used also.  VNC 
isn't fun over dialup.

Do you want me to get five boxes, like PI's?

What am I going to do with five boxes?  Don't think that I
have time 
in my schedule to get that many machines installed with
something 
and then haul it all to MT.  Now if someone wants to do the
install, 
get them there, and then establish enough of a network for
all this have 
at it.  Installing the NX client and getting it connected is
trivial.

At best the demo I was thinking of is likely my laptop
connecting to a 
remote FreeNX server.  The possibility of someone bringing
in a M$ box, 
or laptop as suggested before would still be open.

Also I'm not likely to setup account and give out access for
five boxes 
to my server.  It could happen I suppose.  This would mean
that a server 
would also have to be setup and configured, connected.  All
doable I'm 
sure, perhaps not within my personal time constraints.
