- ====== X2Go at the Department of Mathematics, RWTH Aachen University ======
  
- At RWTH Aachen, X2Go is used as part of the mathematics students' training.
- The students must enroll in several hands-on training classes, includung, among others, programming practice and understanding computer algebra systems.
- These training classes are carried out on
computers with a Linux operating system.
- For most of our first-year students, this is their first encounter with a Linux operating system.
- To enable the students to work on their assignments outside of their assigned lab time, we previously relied on a FreeNX server, which was replaced with an X2Go server in 2013.
- 
- Many of the students have installed the client on their computers and use it regularly.
- 
- We experience usage peaks of up to 50 simultaneous open connections.  
- Using a resource-efficient desktop environment like IceWM has turned out to lessen the load on the server significantly. For the very same reason, KDE and Gnome Desktop are not used - they spawn way too many processes at login, thus placing unneccessary load on RAM and CPU.
- 
- The students seem to get along very well with the software. In the last 3 years there have not beem more than aproxximately 5 support calls regarding its installation or use.
