Neatx on squeeze, the cheat sheet:

Install dependencies:

aptitude install python-pexpect python-simplejson autoconf automake python-docutils xauth netcat python-gtk2 python-gobject gcc x11-xserver-utils make xutils-dev xserver-xorg-dev xorg-dev

Install nxagent:

Insert in /etc/apt/sources.lst:

# Here I got the nxagent package
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/freenx-team/ppa/ubuntu intrepid main

aptitude update; aptitude install nxagent

Install neatx:

cd /usr/src/
svn checkout http://neatx.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ neatx-read-only
cd neatx-read-only/
cd neatx/
./autogen.sh
./configure

make install

Get neatx ready to run by making nx user and keys and a config file

useradd --system -m -d /usr/local/var/lib/neatx/home -s /usr/local/lib/neatx/nxserver-login-wrapper nx
install -D -m 600 -o nx /usr/local/share/neatx/authorized_keys.nomachine ~nx/.ssh/authorized_keys
cp /usr/local/share/doc/neatx/neatx.conf.example /usr/local/etc/neatx.conf

Clean up sessions after reboot:
Insert in /etc/rc.local:

# Delete all NX sessions after a reboot, they're dead anyway
rm -rf /usr/local/var/lib/neatx/sessions/*
