[FreeNX-kNX] [RFC] Installation of freenx (server) and a NX

[Durk Strooisma]

Hi Stefan,

Yeah, I know they're not perfect. These packages are merely backports for
Debian 3.1 (sarge) of packages made by someone providing them for Ubuntu
6.xx. They're not meant to be working on other Debian versions, though they
seem to be working on Debian 4.0 (etch). This was all stated in my initial
post when I made them public. So I hope people use them with care :-)

I keep providing these packages because I know some people are using them.

Anyhow, thanks for the heads up about lenny/sid. It's helpful for people
trying to install the packages on these operating systems.
