I'm barely familiar with both ;) and I haven't tried either via freenx
yet.  It seems as though ssh might be easier, but I guess the context of
what you doing matters ie, if your in freenx, why switch?.

here is an article on screen: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/6340

and here is a page on nohup:

ending nohup with an & causes it to run in the background so something like:
# nohup wget www.domain.com/file.big &

should download a file in the bag ground even after you log off.

HTH,
