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

Dear guys and girls,
can someone please explain to me, why on earth the freenx package wants to
pull in half the known universe as dependencies? See the output of 'aptitude
install freenx' below. This has to be a joke - some sort of mistake, right?
You want me to install *gnome* to install freenx??
._.
Now; it would be outstandingly brilliant if you could point me to a simple
way of just installing freenx, and only the deps that it actually needs to
run. I doubt that 'dictionaries-common' or 'libgweather1' (can you believe
it...) hold any relevance when it comes to running freenx. Thanks a lot.
Regards,
Carl
