Hi there just think you would want feedback on X2go. Its a great tool from Linux to Linux But from Windows to Linux or Mac to Linux its downright unreliable and trust me when I tell you that it is unreliable. On Windows it will only connect very randomly at best. There no predictability with it at all. I tried on the same network and its completely random when it connects. Which is not good. You can diable all AV and its still the same. I only installed Windows 7 and the installed the X2go client on that and its still unpredictable.
Me and a friend of mine spent over a week trying to make it work on Windows 7 and we couldn't make it work predictably.
With that being said what I did was to create a Lubuntu VM on a Windows 7 machine, ssh from the VM into the server I am trying to manage and it works perfectly. Yes its a lot of work but it works correctly.

Sorry, but I can't confirm your findings. We're using X2Go in a commercial environment, with a two-digit number of Debian Linux servers and about five times as many Windows clients.
Then again, we're not using the latest X2Go Client for Windows for our production systems. Maybe some issue cropped up with the latest builds? Please let us know which versions (both server and client) you were using for your tests.

Hi George,
well there are some minor issues we are aware about, but indeed we have large installations with Win-to-Win. Nevertheless we are in the process of providing upgraded packages really soon which incorporate a brand new stack of components which are known to behave better in general (without having them tested thoroughly yet). Maybe its a good idea to get in contact with one of the companies behind x2go to get some support and finding the specific issues you are having? I really think this is more of a configuration related problem, as stated before, there are lots of successful installations also with windows clients (including Windows 7) out there.
