Well, now I have repos for FreeNX 0.7.1 that you can download from:
deb http://www.datakeylive.com/ubuntu gutsy main
deb-src http://www.datakeylive.com/ubuntu gutsy main

You can build from source using Debian's or Ubuntu's source building methods, 
but I haven't updated the forum about this yet since I'm leaving tomorrow to 
travel 3000KMs to visit family.
