Hi list
I'm a newbie on x2go. I tried to find some answers in the wiki and the docs but I have still some questions: First of all, I found the mail archive; is there also a searchable archive like nabble or so?
I was able to setup the x2go-server and also to connect with a single windows xp-laptop, so this went fine.
Basically, I try to determine if x2go suits our needs and what setup would be needed for it: We have an application server (Ubuntu 10.04) and we need to bring some of the applications on this server in a windows 2008 terminal server environment. So my questions are: Will the client work on window terminal without conflicts between the different users? Is it possible to have sessions to different applications for the same user?
We have about 100 potential users, about 10-20 concurrently working with about 100-200 sessions a day. Is it possible to estimate on the resources that are needed on the server?
Any hints on my questions or a pointer to some docs or use cases would be great! Thanks a lot in advance!
Kind regards Cédric

we are on GMANE: http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/contact:start

For X2Go Client, this should work (I guess). For PyHoca-GUI (the other
X2Go Client application), this is in the (my) queue.

X2Go supports published applications. You can blend in server-side
applications into a second menu tree. One session in published
applications mode is considered as one X2Go session. 10-20 X2Go
Session should be hostable on one big terminal server (8 cores, 16 GiB
RAM). However, it also depends on the load each user produces.
Any hints on my questions or a pointer to some docs or use cases
would be great! Thanks a lot in advance!
We, for example, use X2Go in public schools and one X2Go server
handles a class room with ease. X2Go can be very powerful and scales
really well, but maybe others should report here, as well, as I am
pretty much biased...

We do have a (virtual) 10Gig, 6core machine for x2go with 6 users. Some x2go-agents become really big memory-wise. And all the browsers consume gobs of memory.
And I haven't yet determined if the latency of x2go, the latency of the home-dirs via nfs or the latency of the os-disk via nfs is the most significant factor that users are kind of dissatisfied:-(
Probably the added latency of the network-connections between disk-less clients and server and between the server and its disks. I hope reducing the later improves things a bit.
Anyway, x2go did actually help us solve some problems and proved to be a better and more stable environment than the vnc-based solution we had before.
Have fun,
Arnold
