First download all the necessary rpm files from :
http://www.nomachine.com/download.php
[root@nb-namran Downloads]# ls -alh nx*
-rw-rw-r-- 1 namran namran 4.3M Mar 31 12:46 nxclient-3.4.0-7.i386.rpm
-rw-rw-r-- 1 namran namran 6.7M Mar 31 12:47 nxserver-3.4.0-12.i386.rpm
then install it with just ..
rpm -ivh nxclient-3.4.0-7.i386.rpm nxserver-3.4.0-12.i386.rpm
depend on your system it might request for further dependencies..
if everything goes right..
you shall able to configure it after that..
files provided by nxserver is as below :

I guess just need to do this..
If executed by root:
--useradd USERNAME [--administrator]
[--system [--home[=homedir]|--nohome][--gid[=gid]]
[--uid[=uid]]]
Add the user to the NX database and enable the NX login. The user
must already exist on the host server when the command is executed.
If the NX Server is configured to authenticate users through its own
password DB, the server will prompt for a password. If the user is
not present in the host server, the --system parameter should be
specified to allow NX server to create the system account using the
default settings configured for the useradd system command. If the
UserId, UserGroup and UserHome keys are set on the server configu-
ration file, and the --home, --gid and --uid parameters are provided,
the server will create the account according to the values specified
in the keys. If, for each of these parameters, the values are speci-
fied in the command line, they override both the default values set
in the system and the values set in the related keys. If the --nohome
parameter is provided, the server will not create the home for the
user. The --administrator parameter allows the server to grant NX
administrator privileges to the user.
oh well…after that..
from the other machine..
just go to nxclient wizard.
enter the user credential ..
1.host
2.and SSH Port.
3. username
4. password
5. Session (can be Gnome,KDE,shadow)
if you like .. can access the advance setting for the multimedia support..
try connecting to the host ..
requesting user’s auth?
wait until it authorized..
then.. established..
if got sessions .. you can attach to it.. 🙂
.. I love the shadow part.. as it replicate the real desktop on the host machine..
so can have a view something like this..
p/s : .. this tool is based on the fundamental of SSH command “ssh -Y -l user hostname “.. which forward the display to local.. 🙂
its very useful indeed when am using two big LCD (on top of two workstation) and a laptop (which contain my personal stuff) ..
