Is there any reason why I should not be able to install NX (www.nomachine.com) on a remote server (to which I have root access)?
If I try to install using dpkg and "apt-get -f install" to resolve dependencies I'm getting connection errors which I am pretty sure relate to there being no X server installed. What would be the minimum I need to do to get X installed so that this would work (assuming my guess is correct)?
What I am trying to do is reach the point where I can connect to a box in a remote office and use (eg) Firefox on the box to view locally hosted web pages, although once I have remote access to a "desktop" there are other ways I could (ab)use that.
Err, locally as in where you are as apposed to where firefox is running? That's, err, not going to work even if you do get NX installed. Just out of interest, why do you want to use NX? Could you just use vncserver + the java vncviewer for browser based messing?
