[X2Go-User] Newbie question: What is x2go's relationship to VcXsrv?

2015-05-11 Thread David Aldrich
Hi

I use VcXsrv and have just come across x2go.

Please will someone explain if there is any relationship between x2go and 
VcXsrv?

Why might I want to use x2go instead of VcXsrv?

(I work on a Windows 8.1 machine and want to access GUI apps on Linux machines).

Best regards

David

 Plain VcXsrv is just that - a plain X server for Windows, that you can use 
 with
 any SSH client that supports X forwarding, no change on the Unix machine
 required.
 
 For X2Go, you need to install the X2Go server packages on your Unix
 (currently: only Linux) machine, else you will be unable to connect to it 
 using
 X2GoClient.
 
 X2GoClient for Windows ships with a patched/forked version of VcXsrv,
 kindly maintained by Mike DePaulo, informally known on this list as Mike#2.

 For learning about the advantages of X2Go, I would like to suggest you visit
 our Wiki page for beginners:
