You select whichever app/desktop you want in nxclient . . .

Just ignore those dependencies . . .

        ( you will need "expect" and "sshd"
          and
          it's a good idea to install nxclient on the server )

The FreeNX packages are mostly made up of shell scripts,
         (with a bin and an expect script and a couple of symbolic links)

You also need the NX libraries and nxagent .debs
        ( complied from nomachne source )
