By 'extras' I refer to the hoary-extras repo set up by the Backports
Project, which has its website here:
http://backports.ubuntuforums.org/

Basically, while backports itself contains newer versions of packages
that are in Hoary, extras contains stuff that isn't in it at all, from
legally iffy stuff like MP3 playback and libdvdcss to things that just
aren't included in universe or multiverse - yet. FreeNX is one of
them. Install the package, and you should be good to go for connecting
from any other computer, although from what I've heard the packaged
client is unsuable, forcing use of the one downloaded from Nomachine's
site directly. Since my remote-access terminals are all Windows or OS
X systems, I can't speak to that from personal experience. And yes, it
is blazingly speedy.
