[TriLUG] Opinion Seeking: Remote Linux Desktops

[John Vaughters via TriLUG]

x2go blows away anything on the market. It is using the same technology as NX. But NX is turning into a paid solution. Both are great, but I moved to x2go as my primary remote access. You can even just run one application, so it can be an application service as well. It uses ssh and is compressed and encrypted. If anyone can find a better solution then NX technology, I would love to hear it.
I still use VNC for versions of embedded linux that do not support x2go. Also, I use VNC on Linux and windows to share console sessions.

      I second that motion. But then again I am doing it right now.
Just setup VNC to do localhost only since the ssh port forwarding will
take care of that.
