Wow! Thanks for that! I haven't heard of x2go before. Reading their
site, I am quite excited to give it a try.

I used to be a big fan of NX Machine 3, but within the last couple of
years it has gotten /crazy/ flaky on newer distros (it still works well
with EL6 and Debian 6 Squeeze, but anything newer seems to be a
problem). NX3 also /really/ doesn't like any desktops other than Gnome
and KDE. I managed to get it working on LXDE once, but that wasn't easy
and the latest LXDE update breaks NX Machine. I was a part of the early
beta for NX Machine 4 and I provided a ton of feedback but it still is
not ready for real use in my opinion with too many things broken. I
support a bunch of users that use the paid-for NX Machine 4 (clients on
Linux/Mac/Windows) for a project and it seems like every update breaks
/something/. I can almost guarantee that when I get a call from that
group the problem they have is NX Machine 4 related. Every single time.

I have tried out a few projects for replacing NX Machine and never got
far. I will definitely give x2go a try.

Thanks!
