I've been using the freenx package for CentOS 5 (really makes administration of multiple servers simple), but ran into issues with getting the latest version 0.7.0 to work. Upgrading the package via PUP also threw conflicts. I proceeded to uninstall freenx, and loaded the latest version of No Machine's NX Free Edition for Linux RPM - x86_64 - installing the three rpm's for client, node and server.
Some things to be aware of:
Definitely, have to read through the admin guide and configure client/server keys. My installation didn't auto-generate the keys. The script to generate keys is found at /usr/NX/scripts/setup/nxserver.
If you have SSH on a different port than 22, you'll run into authentication issues that can be verified from /var/log/messages. The message will be similar to the following: NXSERVER-3.1.0-5[22506]: Failed SSHd authentication for user 'xxx', to '127.0.0.1', port '22': ' ssh_exchange_identification: read: Transport endpoint is not connected^M\n' 'NXNssUserManager::auth'. To resolve this issue, change all instances looking for SSHD on port 22 in /usr/NX/etc/node.cfg and /usr/NX/etc/server.cfg to your current SSH port.

Bee Swarm Tech Demo - Papervision3D/Flash

The following demo was done using Papervision3D with Actionscript 3 based on mrdoob's DOF experiments at http://www.mrdoob.com and inspired by the fantastic Roxik example.
Notes:
The camera will move based on the position of your mouse. Leaving your mouse in the center, zooms in.
Animations are randomized between 9 different shapes using Tweener.
You can hide 3D models by using the slider. I encountered problems with using removeChild which removes the Plane but leaves MovieMaterial data attached to the scene. This caused memory issues as the MovieMaterial still exists in RAM. I got around this by loading the Planes on scene creation and making Plane's visible=false if the Slider is moved down and visible=true when the Slider is moved up.
The maximum amount of Planes, loaded on my local machine was 2500. Loading any more caused Flash 9 to timeout.
For every 4 bees, there is one wasp. Bee and wasp wings were given a transparency in .png format.
The honeycomb background uses an optimized .jpg file attached to a MovieClip with some Tweener movement.
The total file size is 120kb but may put some strain on your computer, as there is no 3D hardware acceleration in Flash, yet.
VMN 10-12-2007 I have a version of the FisheyeViewer running in Adobe Air with Drag and Drop upload functionality to the web server using Merb (Ruby on Rails). Additional code is needed for authentication on server/client side.
The Pixital FisheyeViewer 0.4.1 is an Adobe Flex photo gallery using the following components:
Where possible, configuration settings have been turned into CSS/XML variables so that an end-user can adjust to suit their needs without having to dive into Flex code. I will be releasing the Source Code after further tweaking and modifications are done, not sure which licensing yet: GNU/GPL or MIT. Hopefully, you can make use of the code for presentatations, demos, web sites, photo galleries, etc.
* FisheyeViewer.mxml is the main application mxml file. * CategoryView.mxml - Category selections. This is the default ViewStack loaded. * PhotoView.mxml - the Fisheye Display.
