[FreeNX-kNX] freenx is dead !

[Emmanuel Blindauer]

Hi
It's not because you can install freenx on your platform that the project 
is dead.
For example, Mandriva has packages for nx libs and freenx since... Mandriva 
10.2, so several years, and all packages are working correctly :)

If debian/ubuntu can't provide such a package that's a distrib problem.
Installing  freenx itself is so simple, only copy/paste what's in  INSTALL 
file.
Of course, distributions add a lot of integration, but that's not the goal 
of the freenx project.
