Clear message

This page will describe how to get FreeNX server working on ubuntu.

Add these to /etc/apt/sources.list 

deb http://ubuntulinux.nl/ /

Note: Some people will tell you to add kanotix or backports as a source. Do not do this. It is depreciated

Update your sources {{{sudo apt-get update }}}

Install it 

sudo apt-get install freenx

Unless you are overly concerned with security, you should choose the nomachine key during the install

Add a user (You need to use a username that currently exists on your system 

nxserver --adduser <Username>

Set a password (does not have to be the same as the system password) 

nxserver --passwd <Username>

You should be able to access your ubuntu box from any Windows or Linux box using the free client from [http://nomachine.com NoMachine's website]. You can also embed your NX Server in a webpage by installing the Nomachine Web Companion and the apache webserver.

Details about this will follow soon.
