You can always grab the Hoary version of libpng. UPDATE: As someone pointed out, Kanotix FreeNX now depend on libpng being newer or equal to 1.2.7. Just a heads-up in case you wanted to stay as purely Ubuntu as possible! The Kanotix java-package works perfectly on Ubuntu, so not really a problem either. It also has a newer java-package that supersedes Ubuntu's. The repository also contains up-to-date reiser4progs (a good thing if you want to try reiser4, and doesn't affect you if you don't use reiser4 at all) There are also nxclient deb's in the repository, so browse it and enjoy! Running the nxserver -adduser commands is harmless though. Any user that can log into the system via PAM can log in remotely with NX. **Newer (like these) versions of FreeNX no longer need a nxserver -adduser command. Make sure that SSH is running for FreeNX to work properly. Please google the command and read the security implications of doing so! (Basically if FreeNX is flawed, there's a possibility of gaining SSH access as the NX user remotely!) If you want a nomachine key (RECOMMENDED FOR SIMPLICITY), run nxsetup -setup-nomachine-key instead. The repository is for Kanotix, a Debian/SID Knoppix derivative. Add the following line to your /etc/apt/sources.list It's not in Ubuntu's repositories, but is available for Debian.

Over cable/dsl lines, you can barely notice that you're not actually at the system. To give you an idea of FreeNX's power, I can use Smooth Scrolling in Firefox over a dial-up line without excessive jerking. Unlike VNC, FreeNX compresses at the X protocol level, giving it a much better experience over low-bandwidth (and high bandwidth) line. EDIT: For those who don't know what FreeNX is, freeNX is a remote desktop protocol, like VNC.
