What program do you install where? Which is for the server and which is for the client? And what do I have to run to connect after that? I tried OpenSSH/FreeNX on the server and then NXClient on the client, ran the NXClient under Applications > Internet > NX Client for Linux > (ran all the programs) and can't seem to get it to work, even though I have Vino working..
