No 2X Packages For Gentoo For The Moment

2X provide a GPL’d NX server, based on NoMachine’s original source code. As such, it should prove a better quality server than FreeNX.
They also appear to provide the source code for a client, which could allow us to provide a working NX client on more than just 32-bit x86 (which is what we’re limited to with NoMachine’s binary-only client).
I’ve had a look at putting together source-based ebuilds for 2X’s server and client. At the moment, it’s not practical to do so. I’ve passed on a list of issues to my contact at 2X; hopefully they’ll be able to give us a hand in resolving them.
If not, we still have the option of writing ebuilds for their binary releases.

You may be aware of QtNX client, but otherwise it may be worth investigating.
