I know a number of people have been using the nx/freenx packages available from the centos-extras repo. Now, EPEL recently started distributing NX packages. When you run 'yum update' with epel enabled, it will replace CentOS' nx as seen here:

Have any of you tried EPEL's version? If so, can you share your findings?
The open-source edition of NX (version 3.5.x) is virtually static because there would not be updates from NoMachine. I don't know if EPEL made any changes/additions to what CentOS offers.
All of the nx stuff in EPEL, so far as I know, is in support of x2go. x2go basically picks up the ball where freenx/opennx left off. x2go.org It was a new feature in Fedora 20, then added to Fedora 19 and EPEL 6.

I started using x2go a week ago and it is good. You can even use it instead of Teamviewer/VNC, Desktop sharing. I think there is some kind of proxy/redirection feature (Teamviewer-like connections behind the firewall) , but I am not sure, still learning about it.
