I can confirm that this works, however, the question is: for how long?

My worries stem from 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ubuntu_releases#Version_timeline> 
and 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ubuntu_releases#Version_end_of_life>

* Intrepid is already way past its EOL,
* with Hardy, it's not sure if FreeNX is considered part of the server 
release and thus supported until April 2013,
* if it's not, then it will reach EOL by April this year, just like Karmic,
* and the Lucid packages won't work on Debian any more, due to the 
change to "upstart".

I'm considering a switch to x2go when there will be no more FreeNX 
support available for Debian Squeeze, though I haven't made up my mind 
yet - the GUI design of their client software isn't really appealing 
right now, IMHO.

Kind Regards,
Stefan
