I was following the instructions but got this:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:freenx-team
Executing: gpg --ignore-time-conflict --no-options --no-default-keyring --secret-keyring /etc/apt/secring.gpg --trustdb-name /etc/apt/trustdb.gpg --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg --primary-keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv F3A662B57D580D3A2E98E5152A8E3034D018A4CE

UPDATE
Apparntley this was a proxy issue. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-properties/+bug/443404. I solved it by:
$ sudo http_proxy=http://myproxy:8080 add-apt-repository ppa:freenx-team
and continued following the instructions. Now I have another problem:
$ sudo /usr/lib/nx/nxsetup --install
------> It is recommended that you use the NoMachine key for
easier setup. If you answer "y", FreeNX creates a custom
KeyPair and expects you to setup your clients manually.
"N" is default and uses the NoMachine key for installation.
Do you want to use your own custom KeyPair? [y/N]
/usr/lib/nx/nxsetup: line 140: .: filename argument required
.: usage: . filename [arguments]
Setting up ...mkdir: missing operand
Try `mkdir --help' for more information.
-
you can do it yourself
Add this PPA to it's own list file
sudo bash -c "echo 'deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/freenx-team/ppa/ubuntu VERSION main deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/freenx-team/ppa/ubuntu VERSION main' >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/freenx.list"
where VERSION can be: dapper, hardy, intrepid, lucid or maverick . More information can be found at FreeNX Team PPA.
Add the public key of FreeNX PPA run:
sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com F3A662B57D580D3A2E98E5152A8E3034D018A4CE
Then Update Apt
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
sudo aptitude install Freenx
(note, as of Aug. 16 2010 the above command doesn't install a particular script file--appears to be missing from package. So after performing the above, download it from here. Next, cd to the directory to where the script was downloaded and un-packed, probably your downloads folder. Then, move the script into the proper directory: /usr/lib/nx/ with:
> sudo mv nxsetup /usr/lib/nx/nxsetup
Finally, make sure you change the ownership of this file once you moved it so that it is owned by root:
sudo chown root:root /usr/lib/nx/nxsetup
Now use nxsetup to install necessary files and create the special user "nx"
sudo /usr/lib/nx/nxsetup --install
