[FreeNX-kNX] Install Freenx on Debian etch amd64

[Alastair Johnson]

Installing the nomachine server and freenx at the same time will cause 
conflicts, and it is likely neither will work. freenx uses the GPL version of 
the nx libraries released by nomachine. It is functionally similar to the 
nomachine server, but is otherwise unrelated. You should use either freenx or 
the nomachine nxserver, but not both at the same time. Your best bet at this 
stage is probably to remove all trace of both the nomachine and freenx 
installs and start again using one or other.

I can't comment on installing from source as I have only ever used packages on 
gentoo and fedora. Debian and ubuntu packages have been made, but may not be 
up to date. You should find package locations and installation instructions 
if you search the archives.

If you're lucky there's a debian user reading this that can point you in the 
right direction.
