I'd suggest you take a look at neatx.  It's a Google sponsored OSS
version of an nx server that I've found to work better than freenx.
The install can be a little hairy and i had to put a small script
together to manually kill hung sessions, but it still uses the
nomachine client.

And it's superior to VNC because it runs completely though SSH.  No
need to rely on VNC authentication or open port 5900 in the firewall.
If you can SSH to a machine, you can open an nx session to it.
