I think the free version lags somewhat behind in features like
audio/multimedia handling and it can't connect to the console display on
:0. Also, the commercial version always uses the same ssh key that is
included with the client where the freenx version generates a unique key
during the install that you have to copy over to the client before you
can connect.

It's packaged - just 'yum install freenx'. If you work remotely at all
or connect from other platforms it is well worth the trouble to set up.
