Building Freenx on Debian:

1. Include kalyxo in sources.list
# freenx
deb http://kalyxo-archive.mornfall.net experimental main

2. apt-get update

3. apt-get install freenx

4. Configuring ssh keys for freenx:

NoMachine Keys: Allow login with the key shipped with the NoMachine
client. This is not as secure, but it simplifies the configuration of
clients.

Custom keys: Create custom keys for freenx, while this is the most secure
option you will have to distribute the server key to all involved clients,
copy your server's
/var/lib/nxserver/home/.ssh/client.id_dsa.key to your client's
/usr/NX/share/ and set it 0644.

Remove freenx keys: Remove or don't create any keys and leave freenx
unconfigured, remember to use 'nxsetup' to set up freenx.

* I used the freenx keys [NoMachine Keys] for this test build.

5. Setup the freenx user account
 freenx:/home/tim# nxserver --adduser tim

6. Setup the freenx passwd
freenx:/home/tim# nxserver --passwd ****************

6. Install the freenx client tools - you can get the windows client from NoMachine.com in the download section.
