[FreeNX-kNX] FreeNX and Debian

[Durk Strooisma]

Hi,

I guess all your answers are here on the list.

For more information about available Debian packages, look for my name on
the list. You will find replies to posts of Jeremy who made Ubuntu packages.

About why it didn't make it in the Debian list, look for something like
"FreeNX rewrite". This year there was a long discussion about it.
