[X2Go-User] No RHEL5 x2goclient?

[Short, Kermit]

Admittedly, I haven't tested it.  I have read that NoMachine and X2Go
are incompatible, but I haven't tested X2Go with the older FreeNX
implementation.  I'll test it next week and post my results here on the
list.  As we've already got a few Ubuntu and RHEL6 systems up and
running on X2Go, I'd prefer to run X2Go on RHEL5 as well, but getting
anything working on RHEL5 as FreeNX would be wonderful.
