+## Compatibility with other NX based software
+
+FreeNX is a free replacement of the original nxserver by
+nomachine. OpenNX-CE is OSS GUI client replacing the original
+nomachine nxclient. nx-libs is developed with those projects in mind
+and tries to stay compatible with FreeNX and nomachine NX. While
+looking abandoned for many years some people are still using and
+improving these packages. For current repos see

+Thanks to dimbor for providing/maintaining these.

+Etersoft is offering a commercial software called RX. Their OSS client
+called rxclient also aims to be compatible to FreeNX and nomachine and
+is based on opennx. You can find repos for their software here:
