[X2Go-User] No RHEL5 x2goclient?

[Kermit Short]

Hi Mike,
     Thanks for the reply!  Under normal circumstances, I'd be happy to 
take up the cause for RHEL.  Unfortunately, we're migrating away from 
RHEL for the reasons that are being demonstrated here...nobody has 
intrinsic support for all the RHEL platforms on some of the fancy 
software that people want to use. Debian/Ubuntu/Mint all do have 
intrinsic support, and so we're preparing to move to that platform.  If 
we were staying with RHEL, though, I'd certainly take up a role to help 
out, as I really do love x2go...it's becoming the centerpiece of our 
network based computing environment, and it's giving me a much needed 
Remote Desktop option to replace our SunRay equipment, since Oracle is 
mothballing that technology.

Thanks!
-Kermit
