Thinstation 2.3beta1

[Miles Roper]

Hi All,

As below.  Better late than never.

Notes of interest, sessions are no longer running as root.

Check out new www interface.

NX3.0 support, (Mike needs to place the NX3.0 binary in the correct path for it to work however).

Files are uploading now, so may not be ready until tomorrow morning.

Source will follow in a few days.

Cheers

Miles
