Hi Mike, Thanks for the reply! Under normal circumstances, I'd be happy to take up the cause for RHEL. Unfortunately, we're migrating away from RHEL for the reasons that are being demonstrated here...nobody has intrinsic support for all the RHEL platforms on some of the fancy software that people want to use. Debian/Ubuntu/Mint all do have intrinsic support, and so we're preparing to move to that platform. If we were staying with RHEL, though, I'd certainly take up a role to help out, as I really do love x2go...it's becoming the centerpiece of our network based computing environment, and it's giving me a much needed Remote Desktop option to replace our SunRay equipment, since Oracle is mothballing that technology.
Thanks! -Kermit
I'm not sure what the definition of "fancy" is here, but yeah RHEL is not "cutting edge".
FWIW - I am working on getting X2Go into EPEL6 (hitting a bug in RHEL6 that is preventing me from building nx-libs at the moment). Wasn't going to pursue EL5 since I don't use that anymore, but it wouldn't take much more to build for EL5 is someone was interested.
