I can understand that to a degree - if the occasional loss of an unmanned vehicle is financially acceptable (because the chances of that happening are so low), compared to the savings on OS costs, then that's obviously a valid business decision. Machines can be replaced, after all. I'd still be scared if it was a manned sub, though - but hey, I'm a "tried and true" philosophy guy - when I'm not dealing with computers, I prefer to have machinery around me that can be fixed with hammer, screwdriver, wrench and some percussive maintenance. ;-) I guess it shows that I used to volunteer as train staff and in the maintenance crew of a 1960's era railbus - that's where we held our first X2Go community events in 2012 and 2013: https://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/events:start#section2012 > Anyway - I'm upgrading to Mint 17.1 now, so hopefully that obviates > the need to build the .deb package. If for any reason you need to fall back to Mint 15, Mike#1 has posted a quick description of how to build the packages, and he's available for paid consultancy as well, should you need to go down that route and get stuck. > For those interested, here's a recent promo about the project: > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipAxZoMzFYk Very cool. If you run X2Go in one of those, we'd love to have some pictures/screenshots and a short write-up on how you use it. That would absolutely rock to have that on our success stories page.
