Description
NoMachine [1] provides a commercial product that among many things, provides a fast replacement for VNC. Since the low-level components are GPL'd, they make the source available. The nxserver is not free -- but there is a free GPL'd version: http://freenx.berlios.de/
This Wiki: www.taiowiki.com , did all the heavy lifting to provide build instructions for the Raspberry Pi. I built freenx-server from source, using the instructions with a hard-float toolchain specifically for the odroid.
I created a debian binary package on top of my debian-wheezy-gnome-6 release and did clean-machine testing to make sure it would work out-of-the-box.
I only modified sources as mentioned in the Wiki mentioned above.
Installation
Install some prerequsites first, as root or sudo:
sudo apt-get install binutils openssh-server xterm expect tcl8.5
Debian
gnome-6 works.
Ubuntu
There is some issue when trying to connect to ubuntu -- the network connection gets bumped and nxclient gives up...
