below some kind of walkthrough for everybody who is having difficulties with this:
1. get yourself a clean minimal debian installation (I am running etch) 2. download NX from nomachine.com wget http://64.34.161.181/download/3.3.0/Linux/nxclient_3.3.0-6_i386.deb wget http://64.34.161.181/download/3.3.0/Linux/nxnode_3.3.0-17_i386.deb wget http://64.34.161.181/download/3.3.0/Linux/FE/nxserver_3.3.0-22_i386.deb 3. install libaudiofile0 which nxclients depends on apt-get install libaudiofile0 4. install NX dpkg -i nxclient_3.3.0-6_i386.deb dpkg -i nxnode_3.3.0-17_i386.deb dpkg -i nxserver_3.3.0-22_i386.deb 5. install x-server and a window manager (I am using fluxbox which is really fast) apt-get install xserver-xfree86 x-window-system-core fluxbox 6. add a user for remote login adduser test 7. install your NX client for your preffered operating system and configure it to use a custom UNIX desktop, in the application menu select "Run the following command" and type "fluxbox" also use as option "New virtual desktop" this should do the remote stuff. Hope it helps.
