Installing nxserver-freenx

Login as root user or root privileges, then update file /etc/portage/package.keywords,
#: nano -w /etc/portage/package.keywords
Add the following line
net-misc/nxserver-freenx
net-misc/nx
<<<<<<
I was actually tring to document how to install freenx in Gentoo but I was lost when some of the configuration files was changed and the locations too... I will try to get my hands dirty with the software as soond as have time and document in as much as i can.

For now you can still follow the directions below:

Follow instructions from http://marvin.as.arizona.edu/~jharris/linux_tips/freenx-howto.html. Note to make sure that when running /usr/NX/bin/nxsetup --install --setup-nomachine-key that it runs into completion. Otherwise you will into many issue. Example if you installed Gentoo without KDE, then it will complain about KDE printing system. So disable that option. I might document it more fully here when I will re-install nxserver-freenx.
