Admittedly I've never used a debian based distro before, but I've never 
had any trouble getting a version of freeNX, Centos, Gentoo, Fedora all 
fine. At the same time it does appear to me like there aren't that many 
active developers working on freeNX(I may be wrong there) so getting 
rpms/debs for reasonably new versions of distros may take a bit of time. 
I'm sure someone will come up with a deb installation soon, and are the 
sources really that hard to compile?

Anyway thats my 2cents
