FreeNX

This is a remote desktop for Linux. There is a commercial version from www.nomachine.com and if you like a free version FreeNX is the choice.

Add following lines into /etc/apt/source.list

deb http://mirror.ubuntulinux.nl feisty-seveas freenx
deb-src http://mirror.ubuntulinux.nl feisty-seveas freenx

Add a link to solve the NX colour missing problem,

sudo ln -s /etc/X11/rgb.txt /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/

the nxagent application provided with FreeNX package searches for rgb.txt in an another location.
For more information about FreeNX, please refer to http://wiki.debian.org/freenx
