Hi,

I you want a minimal installation then install just freenx-rdp or
freenx-vnc this will install only rdesktop
or x11vnc instead of a hole desktop manager.

As the most common use cases are gnome desktop or kde desktop then
freenx-server pushes
gnome-session | kdebase-workspace-bin | xfce4-session too.
freenx is not needed (it meant to support extra features like
print/file sharing and vnc)

The supported desktops are gnome, kde and xfce4, others session managers are not
supported by now.

If you want further assistance then send us your use case.

Hope this helps,
Marcelo
