Hi Guys,

I have a number of users logging in over VNC and leaving hanging desktop sessions which is using up loads of memory (some users are running a couple of VNC sessions...).

Which is running X & Gnome etc for each user and causing the server to swap out !

I am wondering if I switch to FreeNX would this over come the problem? I remember reading that FreeNX shared memory with other process that used the same application (like MS TS does).

I wondered if this was the case? As I can't find any info to back it up on their website.

Or if anyone has any other solutions... it's that or I banish VNC :)

TIA

KJS
