I sympathize too, but I feel that I have to comment on the statements 
here saying that FreeNX is somewhat unstable/hard to install.
I've used FreeNX almost since it was available, and as a Linux rookie I 
haven't got any big issues that I haven't been able to solve, either 
myself, or with the help of this list (and NoMachines previous list). 
FreeNX isn't hard to install and configure, maybe there is something 
with the distro/install of distro that's causing the trouble? :-) 
Atleast on my Debian boxes it works flawlessly!

I'm sorry that I can't contribute on solving your problems, but as I 
said above, I just wanted to defend FreeNX from statements that may 
scare new users away....
Maybe you could reinstall your distro, or try Debian ? :-)
