if running mandrake, get the freenx server from cooker as the one in 10.2
etc is old (shows how fast nx is moving I suppose)

also get KNX (Kde NX client) if on linux as it's nice. There is a linux
client {at} the nomachines site (as well as a windows etc one).

Nomachines:

Freenx:

Installing from the cooker is a simple urpmi followed by (as root) nxserver --restart

It create the dsa key for you & you use that in the client so that the
only login is your username & pw. Oh & you need to be able to login
via ssh as that user.
