In my experience !M is at least as simple as FreeNX. The difference
is probably that !M is much better tested on SUSE, RH, Mandriva and
other commercial distros, than on Debian and derivatives. For
example Ubuntu is not even listed among the supported distros, and,
AFAIK, nobody had ever tried it, here, so the good news is that
you succeeded :-).

Yes, this is indeed unfortunate, but, as you said, this problem may
be easily solved by having commercial and OSS versions available.
For sure FreeNX will vigilate that users are not subjected to any
unacceptable vendor lock-in, not only by NoMachine, but also by any
NX implementor that may be interested in forking the project.
