Hi everyone
I know there have been a few people who've asked about this before so I think they will be happy to know that the good folk over at Desktop On Demand have made available a portable nx client. Hurrah!
At the moment the only way you can get hold of it is by signing up for an account and unfortunately its not open to the general public as yet but if you use the following link (which btw they have sanctioned for me to release to you good people here) you can get an account which gives you access to the download area for the client.
Oh and they have one for Windows, Mac and Linux
Oh yeah, the link...
I'm always leery of things that state:
Apply now for your Free 28 day trial.
without telling up front how much $$$ day 29 will cost.
I'll pass.

Hi Ed
I wasn't suggesting you subscribe to their service (the prices for which are actually plain to see on their website under 'packages').
I was merely pointing out that once you sign up for their trial service, which again you are under no obligation to use, you will have access to the download area from where you can download the portable nx client - which you can then use to connect to ANY nx server/service and not just Desktop On Demand.
Hope this helps clarifies things.
Hi
I have downloaded the client. I don't see how this version should be any more portable than the one you can download at nomachine. It certainly doesn't store the connection info on the USB disk. Furthermore, I had some problems with crashes. The nomachine version can also just be copied to a USB stick, but it will also write connection info to the registry, so you'll loose that on other machines (which I guess would be the idea for a portable app...)

Tried the Linux version.
This is the first time ever I have come across an application which was able to totally kill the X server.
