The nomachine clients worked fine for me!  The OS X client has some
keyboard mapping issues, but the Windows client worked fine.  Of course
the freenx linux client also works great as well.  I found that if you
disable encryption then it probably won't work...so leave the encryption
"on".  I also got the nomachine Windows client to work fine on my Gutsy
laptop running XP in VMWare.  The Edubuntu server that I set FreeNX to run
on is behind a firewall so I simply forwarded a non-standard port  "2022" 
through to connect to port 22 on the Edubuntu server.  Just needed to make
sure to enter "2022" as the port along with the firewall's external
address....into the client.  Works great!
