Just got this reply to a question I posted on the FreeNode/#guacamole-help
channel
The question to guacamole-help : Does anyone know how/if guacamole
integrates with X2go?
Answered by:
<zoenghangzi> me_robert_too - x2go support is not implemented, but there is
no reason it couldn't be done
<zoenghangzi> a library like libguac-client-x2go would have to be written
to provide the support for guacd.
That's all way beyond my comprehension. People on that chat were all asking
what x2go was and was it faster than rdp.
I posted this because I thought it was something new and it does seem
that's the case.
There is another aspect of this X2Go saga in that it appears it can compete
with LTSP in the thin client area as well.
