[FreeNX-kNX] FreeNX on Alpha

[Bob Tracy]

I've successfully built the 3.0.0 NoMachine open source components on
an Alpha running Debian "etch", and gotten them working with the FreeNX
0.6.0 distribution.  I pretty much had to attempt this, because the
Debian source packages (older software versions) pointed to on the
freenx web site (at least at the time I first tried them) didn't work
for me using *any* MS-Win client version.  The result seems to work ok
with the MS-Win v1.5 client, at least as far as doing what I need it to
do.  If there's interest, I could put together a primitive "howto" of
some kind, but I can't promise I preserved any kind of interoperability
with the official NX software.  Frankly, it wasn't a concern since they
don't have anything for the Alpha :-).
