Kevin, I went to the backports.ubuntuforums.org web site and followed
their instructions for adding their urls to my /etc/apt/sources.list

Then I ran sudo apt-get update

Then I ran sudo apt-get install nxserver 

Everything came down and installed. I also searched for the libstdc
++2.10-glibc2.2 package by starting synaptic package manager.

I then went to http://fedoranews.org/contributors/rick_stout/freenx/ and
followed the directions there for the fedora install.

http://www.enterprisenetworkingplanet.com/netos/article.php/3508951
shows you how to add your user and password to the server. It doesn't
look exactly like she wrote it, but it's fairly straightforward.

$ sudo nxserver --adduser name

$ sudo nxserver --passwd name
