from the something-for-nothing dept. CosmoPOD.com offers free remote KDE desktops over NX. Anyone can sign up to have their own desktop accessible from any computer with a network connection. CosmoPOP uses KDE's Kiosk framework to ensure security for their system. To find out more about the service and why KDE was the chosen desktop, KDE Dot News spoke to the man behind CosmoPOD, Stephen Ensor. Read on for the interview.
This service has great potential not only on the Internet, but also in the enterprise, small and medium organizations. It is a technology that many service providers will be adopting it like IBM, Novell and HP.
This is a test. Creating this doc from home in the US. Launching took about 12 minutes. K-Menu browsing was good. Launching KOffice was OK. Response while in KWrite is good but still notice it is done remotely. Ultimately this is not good enough. I understand that the server is loaded and I was lucky to be able to get a chance to login. I tried to access local storage but failed. It said that LISA is not active. I tried to access other network location but was not successful. When created the session desktop, the sound card was not recognized. I will try and save this brief document created with KOffice and see what happens. Here it goes. It was responsive. It saved right away. I don't see any virtual desktops but I see Kopete so I am going to test it with my wife while in AOL.
Kopete worked pretty good although we didn't say much since we are in the same room and I am logged on a machine in Germany. This is neat.
On testing other things then off to give others a chance to connect.
OK I will try e-mail. Be back in a minute.
KMail worked flawlessly. I configure it to connect to my Comcast account and read my messages (and some spam). I also forwarded them back with no problem. Response was acceptable considering the factors like the server is in Germany and I am in the US. The server is a PC with very limited resources and with maxed out with connections.
Well, pretty good overall and I am sure this will be improved quite a bit the last thing I am going to do is connect to Lxer and post this text. I'll be back.
Firefox is not available so I will use Konqui.
I am now on Lxer finishing this post. I copied and pasted from KOffice. This thing is really neat. Response is good after launching an application which takes some time.
