FreeNX server and client
FreeNX is a secure remote control software. It supports Linux, Solaris, and
FreeBSD on the server side, and almost all platform on the client side. For this knowledge, I'm using Fedore C6 as my server, and Windows XP as my client.
Installing the NX server
Couldn't be easier, just do a yum install would be all.
Installing the NX client
Client can be downloaded from
http://freenx.berlios.de/clients.php∞. Just download and install it.
Configuring authentication
The biggest challenge is probably authentication. On the server, as root do
cd ~nx/.ssh
ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 2048 #save the key as ./id_rsa
echo id_rsa.pub >> authorized_keys
chown nx id_rsa*
Next, copy
id_rsa to your nxclient's connection profile, and you're set.
Start playing
As soon as authentication is worked out, you should be able to launch a nice gnome session.
