I use VcXsrv and have just come across x2go.
Please will someone explain if there is any relationship between x2go and VcXsrv?
Plain VcXsrv is just that - a plain X server for Windows, that you can use with any SSH client that supports X forwarding, no change on the Unix machine required.
For X2Go, you need to install the X2Go server packages on your Unix (currently: only Linux) machine, else you will be unable to connect to it using X2GoClient.
X2GoClient for Windows ships with a patched/forked version of VcXsrv, kindly maintained by Mike DePaulo, informally known on this list as Mike#2.
Why might I want to use x2go instead of VcXsrv?
For learning about the advantages of X2Go, I would like to suggest you visit our Wiki page for beginners: http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/doc:newtox2go
