Check out the download page for more information. There is a free version (which will be the version we discuss here) that has pre-compiled binaries for Red Hat flavors and Debian flavors as well as a source download. NoMachine NX is available for Linux in both x86 and x86_64 flavors. With this solution you can enjoy multi-session remote desktop environments with multi-media support, printing support, and file sharing. But what if you want a full-blown desktop? You could install a VNC or RDP server, or you could go all out with a complete remote desktop management solution like NoMachine NX. I’d recommend removing them using the following commands to be sure that any updates in them don’t break your system when you update it later on.The ability to remotely log on to a Linux machine is usually fairly straight-forward: You install SSH and openssh-server and then tunnel X with the ssh command. Keep in mind that once the script finishes, you’ll still have the epel and 2 rpmfusion repos enabled on your system. In addition, the final command installs what I’d consider to be a core set of applications you’d want in Gnome. The 2 files that don’t come from the CentOS vault are a repo file I created to be able to pull needed CentOS 5.4 packages, and a single RPM for xulrunner-1-9.2.7-2 which is not currently available for CentOS. The script will pull all but 2 files from the CentOS valut for version 5.4 (note, if you cat /etc/redhat-release on a ClearOS 5.2 box it identifies the system as CentOS 5.4). “chmod 700 ClearOS_to_CentOS.shâ€), then run it (i.e. Yum -y install firefox thunderbird rdesktop tsclient wireshark wireshark-gnome gftp logwatch arpwatchĬopy and paste all of the above commands into a file on your ClearOS 5.2 system named “ClearOS_to_CentOS.sh†or something as the root user, chmod it to 700 (i.e. Yum -y groupinstall "GNOME Desktop Environment" Yum -y upgrade yum-fastestmirror yumex yum-protect-packages yum-metadata-parser yum-kmod dkms

With the disclaimer that you can’t blame me if you break your box, here’s my mad scientist approach to get Gnome installed on a fresh install of ClearOS 5.2: You should probably try this on a virtual machine instance or NON production box first.
