yup! the proprietary (free as in beer) NX is wayy more developed than freenx. but definitely do-able (and supports a lot more features than windows' RDP)
you can also VNC (but PLEASE for the sake of security, tunnel it over ssh or a vpn. please. VNC is incredibly insecure.)

I haven't used nx, but we do a lot of remote desktop administration on windows
PCs with logmein and net magic, where we actually do see the desktop. Is the
same thing possible with nx or vnc?

Bill Gates is to hacking as Sid Vicious was to the Sex Pistols: no talent, everyone hates him, and he's just in it for the fame and money.
