Hi Angela,

I just want to say:
WELL DONE!
Aww thank you *blush*. ;-)
Thank you for the accurate and carefully worded questions and thoughts and informations about X2go! Well, seems like attending A-level English classes back in school did pay off, then, huh? ;-)
It's always great when qualified people from "outside" ask questions and tell their view - now we have lots of informations summarized in a few mails and surely new ideas rising in the X2go-community
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.
