Okay - got it installed. You'll need to grab libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 as
Leif wrote.

I just ran it through synaptic and it worked fine.

I think you'll be surprised by this product. I'm totally amazed by it. I
installed the build from backports on Ubuntu and then the rpms for FC 3.

It's the fastest Remote client-server set up I have seen including
Windows Terminal Services.

I was turning in my section of a book on Heterogeneous Networking when I
saw the article this morning. If I would have missed FreeNX, it would be
the equivalent of leaving out CUPS printing (which happened on the last
edition of that book).

If you have used VNC be prepared for a totally new and remarkable
experience.
