I'll agree that NX is excellent, however, don't be fooled into thinking it's
free.  There is a free server (as mentioned) which I haven't tried... But
there is no free client.  Even if you go to nomachine's website, and
download their "free" client, if you read the license terms, it's only free
for a single computer, for personal use.  If you want to do anything more
than that, you can't use the client for free.  (But it is honor system as
far as I know.)
