I'm trying now nxserver-freenx but it is giving me problem with configuration; do you know anything about setting up freenx?
when I run:
nxsetup --install --setup-nomachine-key --clean --purge
...

----> Testing your nxserver connection ...
Permission denied (publickey,keyboard-interactive).
Fatal error: Could not connect to NX Server.

Please check your ssh setup:

The following are _examples_ of what you might need to check.

         - Make sure "nx" is one of the AllowUsers in sshd_config.
     (or that the line is outcommented/not there)
         - Make sure "nx" is one of the AllowGroups in sshd_config.
     (or that the line is outcommented/not there)
         - Make sure your sshd allows public key authentication.
         - Make sure your sshd is really running on port 22.
         - Make sure your sshd_config AuthorizedKeysFile in sshd_config is set to authorized_keys2.
     (this should be a filename not a pathname+filename)
   - Make sure you allow ssh on localhost, this could come from some
     restriction of:
       -the tcp wrapper. Then add in /etc/hosts.allow: ALL:localhost
       -the iptables. add to it:
          $ iptables -A INPUT  -i lo -j ACCEPT
          $ iptables -A OUTPUT -o lo -j ACCEPT

my sshd.conf:

Port 22
Protocol 2
PermitRootLogin no
AuthorizedKeysFile      authorized_keys2
AllowUsers      nx
AllowGroups     nx
PasswordAuthentication no
UsePAM no
Subsystem       sftp    /usr/lib/misc/sftp-server
