OOC?
I use the NX client provided by nomachine.com. My freenx and nx packages on 
the linux box come from:
$ rpm -qi freenx nx
Name        : freenx                       Relocations: (not relocatable)

Summary     : freenx application/thin-client server
Description :
Freenx is an application/thin-client server based on nx technology.
NoMachine nx is the next-generation X compression and roundtrip suppression
scheme. It can operate remote X11 sessions over 56k modem dialup links
or anything better. This package contains a free (GPL) implementation
of the nxserver component.

Summary     : Proxy system for X11
Description :
NX provides a proxy system for the X Window System.

Currently running on FC4. I had originally set this up on FC2 with earlier 
freenx/nx packages. You can read about that here:
http://www.linux-sxs.org/guis/FreeNX_on_FC2.html

nx-1.5.0 is much better, IMO. It handles simultaneous connections to different 
servers gracefully (I really need to update that Step...).

HTH, 
Tim
