I have a Pi but have not had time to tinker with it. This looks like the
first toy I'll be loading on it. It's Debian based so the config files are
located differently.

There is also this:

http://www.berryterminal.com/doku.php/start

I tested this once and it booted and I got logged in OK. I never did
any more thorough testing though.

Has anyone tried getting an NX client on one of these working with
freenx on a server? Or maybe X2go?

I have included a preliminary screen file for x2go in the latest rpm’s, keep in mind its not done but I have tested the technology with a few thin clients and seen increased performance. In terms of a Raspberry Pi build I am also currently working on an arm based build of it using buildroot, much like berryterminal uses except with updated LDM and X11.
