What is Raspberry Pi

Why you need NX server

How to install NX server on Raspberry Pi

Getting the source

NoMachine has released the component source [here http://www.nomachine.com/sources.php]. There is also a official [guide http://www.nomachine.com/documents/technology/building-components-3.x.php] to compiling the components and it is a good source of information. The components you need to build the NX servers are (as of Sept 13/2012, you may see a different version, but component name won't change): 

nxproxy-3.5.0-1
nxcomp-3.5.0-2
nxcompext-3.5.0-1
nxcompshad-3.5.0-2
nx-X11-3.5.0-2
nxauth-3.5.0-1
nxagent-3.5.0-9
nxscripts-3.5.0-1

You can SSH to your Pi and use "wget" to download the files.

Now you should have total 8 files: 

pi@raspberrypi /work/nx $ ls -l
total 22180
-rw-r--r-- 1 pi pi  1510400 Jul 12 16:40 nxagent-3.5.0-9.tar.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 pi pi    30671 Jul 12 16:39 nxauth-3.5.0-1.tar.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 pi pi   532999 Jul 12 16:40 nxcomp-3.5.0-2.tar.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 pi pi    91725 Jul 12 16:40 nxcompext-3.5.0-1.tar.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 pi pi    77293 Jul 12 16:39 nxcompshad-3.5.0-2.tar.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 pi pi    80194 Jul 12 16:39 nxproxy-3.5.0-1.tar.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 pi pi    25664 Jul 12 16:39 nxscripts-3.5.0-1.tar.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 pi pi 20345475 Jul 12 16:39 nx-X11-3.5.0-2.tar.gz
pi@raspberrypi /work/nx $

Unpack all files (use "tar -xzvf <filename>" command), you should have the following directories (I moved gz files to a different directory): 

pi@raspberrypi /work/nx $ ls -l
total 32
drwxr-xr-x  2 pi pi 12288 Jun 15  2011 nxcomp
drwxr-xr-x  2 pi pi  4096 May  9  2011 nxcompext
drwxr-xr-x  2 pi pi  4096 May  9  2011 nxcompshad
drwxr-xr-x  3 pi pi  4096 May  9  2011 nxproxy
drwxr-xr-x  2 pi pi  4096 May  9  2011 nxscripts
drwxr-xr-x 10 pi pi  4096 Aug  5  2011 nx-X11
pi@raspberrypi /work/nx $



Download and unpack all the components into ~/devel/nx and you will end up with the following directories:
