[X2go-dev] Nothing to do with X2go - Question about X11 terminal

[Paul van der Vlis]

Hello,

I expect you can netboot with the device. But you need a tftp server and
your own DHCP server for that. Read about it, X2go offers what you want.

GDM/XDMCP is the wrong way. X2go don't uses it. That's for LTSP.

With regards,
Paul van der Vlis.
