i've had success with freenx on freebsd 4x and 5x. all my testing shows positive
results, though i'm sure i haven't tested all the different scenarios. i'm the
maintainer for the freebsd ports, so pass on any good/bad you find and hopefully
we can knock out any bugs that might get uncovered. an update was committed to
ports just last week, so make sure you're getting the latest ...
