Hi List,
X2Go has been covered by one of Germany's most well-known and well-renowned computer magazines, namely c't.
The issue will hit the newsstands today, Saturday, July 21, 2018. It's the 16/2018 issue and the article starts on page 154.
This article is meant for beginners; it covers the basics of setting up X2GoServer (on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS) and X2GoClient (on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS as well as on Windows 10), and shows you how to use X2GoClient's single application, published application, and desktop environment modes, as well as its built-in file sharing feature. It also teaches you how to kill, or suspend and resume, a session, and how to get better browser performance than with regular Firefox or Chrome.
If you prefer to buy and/or read it online, there are several ways of doing so:
You can click on <http://ct.de/y9y2>, where you can access the link list and comment section for free - so it's worth clicking even if you don't intend to buy the article/the magazine. If you scroll up on that page, you will find a button to buy the single article using a credit card, and another button for paypal payments. Scroll up even further, and you can read the teaser text for the article.
