Hi Stefan! First, let me thank you for your elaborate and quick answer! That's rare these days! I really appreciate that!

I am helping building a new work group at our university and I need a software to do remote work and to provide shared desktop support for the non- IT guys. We have already adjusted to Neon. > Another option: There's a beta version of X2GoServer that you could > install, and you'd also need the corresponding beta version of > X2GoClient on your Client.

However since I need it for production systems, I am not sure if is a good way. Do you think it is mature enough to be used in a productive environment without a a lot of hassle? I need most of the time to support scientific work and students so I can't invest much time in a "secondary" tooling, I hope you understand that. > Do I really need a full remote desktop, or would it be good enough for > me to be able to start remote applications in your local desktop? I don't know. I have never worked that way. I do not know the pro and cons. Maybe I will give it a try. Currently I can't see a good alterntive. Especially if I also want to use it with Windows systems as well. VNC seems to be a solution too but the reactivity/speed is a pain. I think I can't use it all day long. I alos can't use a commercial application since we simply do not have enough money to afford one (at least for the moment). > Turning a local desktop session into a remote desktop session is a bit > hairy.

Well, for a remote support session this would be totally ok! -- Best Regards, Bernhard Lindner _______________________________________________ x2go-user mailing list x2go-user@lists.x2go.org https://lists.x2go.org/listinfo/x2go-user
