New Revision: http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/doc:deployment-stories:x2go-at-rwth-aachen Edit Summary: ↷ Page moved from doc:deployment-stories:x2go-at-rwth-aachen to doc:success-stories:x2go-at-rwth-aachen User : stefanbaur @@ -1,18 +1 @@ - ====== X2Go at the Department of Mathematics, RWTH Aachen University ====== - At RWTH Aachen, X2Go is used as part of the mathematics students' training. - The students must enroll in several hands-on training classes, includung, among others, programming practice and understanding computer algebra systems. - These training classes are carried out on computers with a Linux operating system. - For most of our first-year students, this is their first encounter with a Linux operating system. - To enable the students to work on their assignments outside of their assigned lab time, we previously relied on a FreeNX server, which was replaced with an X2Go server in 2013. - - Many of the students have installed the client on their computers and use it regularly. - - We experience usage peaks of up to 50 simultaneous open connections. - Using a resource-efficient desktop environment like IceWM has turned out to lessen the load on the server significantly. For the very same reason, KDE and Gnome Desktop are not used - they spawn way too many processes at login, thus placing unneccessary load on RAM and CPU. - - The students seem to get along very well with the software. In the last 3 years there have not beem more than aproxximately 5 support calls regarding its installation or use. - - - Frank Knoben - - RWTH Aachen University -- This mail was generated by DokuWiki at http://wiki.x2go.org/
