[X2go-dev] Looking for information on the future of x2go (and some other x2go-related stuff)

Aww thank you *blush*. ;-)

Well, seems like attending A-level English classes back in school did 
pay off, then, huh? ;-)

I'd call that a win-win. The thing is, I've been selling and supporting 
a FreeNX-based solution for a while, and FreeNX is starting to show its age.
Actually, the whole free-as-in-beer-but-not-free-as-in-speech stuff in 
my solution is starting to bite me hard (I'm forced to migrate away from 
several free but closed source components). So I figured that when I'm 
already forced to perform such a migration, I should replace as many 
components as possible* with FLOSS stuff. That's why I started to 
intensify my experiments with x2go, and what caused me to post my 
questions on the list - I need to find out if x2go is, or can be turned 
into, a viable alternative for FreeNX in my particular use case.

Kind Regards,
Stefan

*My dream would be a completely FLOSS-based system, but while there are 
replacements for Adobe Reader, open source Flash support is still in its 
infancy, so I can't avoid shipping Adobe Flash in the form of 
flashplugin-nonfree*.deb.
