Dennis, I read that something was wrong with the client for Ubuntu.

I didn't have that problem maybe because I made a mistake.

I installed FreeNX from backports after I tried to install it from 

http://kanotix.com/files/debian/ ./

I got the client to install but it didn't work. The server didn't
install at all because of dependency issues.

I then came back and go the debs from http://backports.ubuntuforums.org

That works and also fixed my client.

So, that's my work around. Not pretty, but my work around.


Here's an article about FreeNX that might give you some links.
