    Running a lightweight GUI on your vps

    Could you please restore the various download links referred by the script as well as the client download link provided in your tutorial. I used to use 3.5 on several Ubuntu LTS 12.04 amd64 machines last year. Worked fantastic. Now I don't have the binaries and NX 4 sucks. Spent a whole day &...
