NeatX: Google’s NX Terminal Server
Interesting things sometimes released Google. From fresh - NeatX terminal server, with open source under the GPL.
As you know, the NX protocol was created by NoMachine to work effectively with the classic X Windows system. This system is characterized by large delays in the transmission of information and sub-optimal bandwidth consumption. Protocol NoMachine perfectly solves the problem, this topic has already been discussed at Habré .
Since 2004, there is an open and free server FreeNX , but it is written on a hellish mixture of Bash, Expect and C. Google reasoned that in this form it would be hard to develop and improve, and decided to rewrite the server. And so NeatX appeared.

NeatX is written in Python, with small patches of Bash scripts and the only program written in C for performance reasons.
Google programmers say that in their implementation of the NX-server there is even a new functionality that FreeNX did not have, but they didn’t have to adopt all the features of FreeNX. You can participate in the development through the Google mailing list .
