NX is a technology for secure remote access - for example, you may want to run your Amahi Server headless (no monitor) and access a full graphical desktop environment on your server from another computer such as a Windows, Apple or Linux machine. NX provides both security and near local speed application responsiveness over high latency, low bandwidth links. The core libraries for NX are provided by NoMachine under the GPL. FreeNX is a GPL implementation of the NX Server and NX Client Components. More information can be found [http://freenx.berlios.de FreeNX project page] or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NX_technology Wikipedia].
Second, run this command to install FreeNX:
That's it. FreeNX should now be installed and running on your HDA. In order to use FreeNX, you will need a client to connect with. Go to http://www.nomachine.com/download.php and select the one for your appropriate operating system.
/etc/nxserver/node.conf
And add the following to the end of the file:

===Alternative Approach - Install NoMachine NX Free Server===
'''In case you receive any error messages or notification from Fedora that some applications (like gnome-settings-daemon) crashed, you might want to install free NX server from Nomachine web site.''' Note the main difference with this software is that NX Free Edition is licensed as proprietary ( 2 connections limit) unlike FreeNX which is completely Free free Open Source Software
Go to Nomachine's web site and download NoMachine NX Free Server (http://www.nomachine.com/download-package.php?Prod_Id=1352) for Linux i386 RPM. It consists of three separate downloads: client RPM, node RPM and Server RPM. You can read on their web site detailed info on how to install it and in what order - pretty straightforward. Here is what you need to do to get it installed on Fedora 12:
That's it. Then go to terminal and do "sudo rpm -i" command for all three packages that you downloaded before. Here are the commands (you need to run these from the folder where you have dowloaded them):
You need to install them in order: client, node, server.
# Extract script from downloaded tar file
#Open terminal window, go to director with the script and type
If the script runs successfully, it should return a message saying
'''Script Complete! Now you should be able to connect to this server using qtnx or the NX free client from nomachine.com.'''
If you receive errors running the script, it may be that you have a previous failed installation of FreeNx on your system. Try to completely remove FreeNx before attempting this script.
