Thanks for that tip on x2go - I'd struggled with freenx and eventually |
| 16 |
gave up and freenx isn't even in the tree anymore. |

I looked up x2go and rebuilt openssh on my home server as it suggested |
| 19 |
to try it out. Other than restarting sshd, I didn't have to do any |
| 20 |
configuration and it just *worked*. I've, like, never ever had that |
| 21 |
happen before. Even when I set up my tigervnc with xinetd it was days of |
| 22 |
experimenting before I got it to work. tigervnc also was hanging up X |
| 23 |
upgrades, so now I can successfully ditch tigervnc. |

x2go is so much faster it's unbelievable. I have a gigabit LAN here at |
| 26 |
home and VNC was lagging pretty badly (to the point where I decided |
| 27 |
against even trying to use it remotely.) |

Some things to note: there's no android client, but there is one for |
| 30 |
Windows/linux/MacOS. I haven't tried it on my Windows laptop yet, but |
| 31 |
one of these days I'll dig it out and try it. |

Makes me wonder if it would be possible to spin up a VM on demand with |
| 34 |
x2go on and preconfigured if OP requires users not to be on the same host. |
