Info and password:https://www.et.iupui.edu/cnc/Research_Web/nx/nx.aspx • Strength • Same interface as a native Unix machine on MS Windows • Drawback • Broadband needed • In progress of installation. Unstable.
Window Browsers • Nautilus • A default file browser for Java Desktop • Simple and easy • Customized for SUN Unix system • Konqueror • A default file browser for KDE • Rich Features • Generic
