====== System Administration with X2Go ======
//Shared by Mike Gabriel, [[http://das-netzwerkteam.de/|DAS-NETZWERKTEAM (Germany)]]//
Personally, I prefer system administration using solid and pure SSH.
However, at many customers' sites I need more then a simple terminal. Testing problems in user profiles (Linux / Windows), browser behaviour behind a dedicated firewall, and many other site specific constraints and/or features can only be tested from within the customer's
network.
With X2Go I can easily connect to machines (graphically) on the customer's intranet (e.g. via an SSH proxy or via VPN) and help people on the internal network.
As I normally work in a multi-tasking way (doing several things at the same time), back in 2010 my requirement was an X2Go Client application that can handle multiple sessions connected to multiple X2Go Servers at once. That demand finally lead to a first draft of the application that was shortly after named PyHoca-GUI.
The multi-session / multi-connections concept is fully embedded into the Python X2Go module, so the GUI only wraps around the X2GoClient class provided in Python X2Go. If you have a similar use case but do not like the GUI layout of PyHoca-GUI, it should be very easy to write your own Python based X2Go Client application.

====== Deployment Story: Debian Edu / Skolelinux and X2Go (without TJENER) ======
//Shared by: Mike Gabriel (with my [[http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu|Debian Edu]] Developer hat on)//
In Debian Edu contexts the main criticism since the release of Debian Edu / Skolelinux squeeze is: the whole Debian Edu system has become far to complex (LDAP, Kerberos, GOsa², Samba, LTSP, ...). The default Skolelinux system has become more complex, that is true indeed. If it has become too complex is
another discussion. From the view point of a Debian Edu developer and IT service provider, the system is just as it has to be. From a teacher's perspective, I deeply get the criticism of to much complexity.
However, those who feel overwhelmed by Debian Edu's grown complexity, please consider the approach described below.
===== Your Gateway =====
* Install ipFire as a Gateway on some minor hardware
* Red + Green interface (you need two network cards)
* let the Red interface connect you to the internet
* Enable DHCP service on the Green interface
===== Basic Skolelinux Installation =====
* Assemble an average server box:
* 4 or 8 CPU cores
* 16GiB or 32GiB RAM
* two fast hard drives (SSD)
* 2 network cards
* Install a Debian Edu / Skolelinux Standalone system (no TJENER!) on that server hardware
* Make sure that your Skolelinux system's hostname can internally be resolved via DNS. Use the ipFire system to configure this.
* Test local login,
test DNS, install required (educational) software
* Create more users on the Skolelinux system through the normal Posix tools (''adduser'') or through some fancy user administration GUI (present in KDE / GNOME)
===== Basic X2Go Installation =====
* Then proceed with setting up X2Go Server on the Skolelinux system:
* Add the X2Go archives for Debian to the Skolelinux system
* Install the packages ''x2goserver-xsession'' and ''x2goserver-fmbindings'' on the Skolelinux machine. Optionally, you may want to install the package ''x2godesktopsharing''.
* Test X2Go access to the Skolelinux system from another client machine that gets hooked up to the Green network interface of the ipFire system
===== X2Go Thin Client Environment =====
* Then proceeed with setting up an X2Go Thin Client Environment on the Skolelinux system:
* Install the package ''x2gothinclient-management'' on the Skolelinux system
* Follow the X2Go TCE documentation in this wiki to get the TCE
up and running
* During the X2Go TCE installation you will be guided to set up a DHCP+PXE server on the Skolelinux system. Make sure that DHCP serves the X2Go Thin Clients via the //second// network interface of the Skolelinux system. No DHCP on the first network card (the one that is connected to the Green ipFire interface)
* Connect minimal, power-saving systems (i.e. thin-client-like hardware) two the Skolelinux system's second network card and configure them boot via PXE
==== What you have at the end... ====
... is a Debian Edu / Skolelinux based class room that can be administrated by normal Linux user and group administration tools. No Kerberos, no LDAP, no Samba, no XXX involved.

====== X2Go at Holland Computing Center, University of Nebraska ======
The Holland Computing Center is the central research computing provider for the University of Nebraska system. In addition to Linux-based clusters, we also provide the ability for researchers to run virtual machines via our OpenStack-based cloud resource. We provide a curated set of
operating system images to use within OpenStack. For all Linux images with a graphical desktop environment, we pre-install X2Go Server. Since OpenStack uses SSH key-based authentication, this makes accessing the instance very convenient for researchers. They simply need to install the X2Go client package on their laptop or desktop and set it to use their OpenStack SSH key. There's no need to configure VNC, etc. access, so using X2Go provides both ease of use for the researcher and lessens the administrative effort required when creating images.

We looked at many different remote access programs when looking for a remote access solution for Rutgers University’s Computer Science Department. None of them compared to the ease of use, value and performance we got from X2Go.
X2Go is the recommended Remote Access software for our Linux system. It performs very well on slow network connections and has crucial features we need. The ease
of configuration of client software that supports all major OS (MacOS, Windows, Linux), low bandwidth requirement, low latency performance and ability to disconnect and reconnect previous sessions, are all crucial for our users. Although the added bonus of Audio support, local Printing and Share folder support are nice, we don’t recommend them to our users due to current instability.
- //[Editor's note: The audio support issue turned out to be a misconfigured server; for the printer and file sharing, we're working with Hanz to analyse what's causing the issues. - Stefan Baur, X2Go Project/Community Manager]//
+ <note tip>Editor's note: The audio support issue turned out to be a misconfigured server; for the printer and file sharing, we're working with Hanz to analyse what's causing the issues. - Stefan Baur, X2Go Project/Community Manager</note>
The Computer Science Department at Rutgers University is 90% Linux based, but our users mostly use Windows and Macs at home.
Noticing that most users have grown up with Windows and Mac graphical user interfaces (GUI), providing a remotely accessible Linux GUI is a crucial step to avoid the steep learning curve of the Linux SSH command line interface.
X2Go enables our users to access a full graphical interface of all our Linux system remotely as if they are sitting in front of computers in the labs or offices. This has reduced learning time for LinuxOS and helps our users go straight to learning and completing their class assignments.
