We do have a (virtual) 10Gig, 6core machine for x2go with 6 users. Some x2go-agents become really big memory-wise. And all the browsers consume gobs of memory. And I haven't yet determined if the latency of x2go, the latency of the home-dirs via nfs or the latency of the os-disk via nfs is the most significant factor that users are kind of dissatisfied:-( Probably the added latency of the network-connections between disk-less clients and server and between the server and its disks. I hope reducing the later improves things a bit. Anyway, x2go did actually help us solve some problems and proved to be a better and more stable environment than the vnc-based solution we had before. Have fun, Arnold
