[K12OSN] yum and FreeNX

I have the same issue with my machine. I can get freenx on a series of 
i386 boxes, but not on a X86_64 box. You're not alone.

http://fedoraproject.org/extras/5/i386/repodata/repoview/F.group.html 
shows freenx is available for i386, but

http://fedoraproject.org/extras/5/x86_64/repodata/repoview/F.group.html 
shows nothing where freenx should be.

I guess the package maintainer hasn't made it go for x86-64.
