  ====== How to Betatest a newer NX-Libs version from Arctica ======
+ 
+ ===== What is Arctica and what do they have to do with X2Go and NX-Libs? =====
+ 
+ Arctica is a fork/spin-off of X2Go, and overlapping with X2Go in several goals as well as volunteers.
+ 
+ Currently, one of the main sub-projects within the Arctica project is the task of updating the NX-Libraries (the code that NoMachines was forced to release under GPL, on which FreeNX, NeatX, X2Go etc. all depend).
+ Some X2Go
volunteers are joining in on that effort as well, also, there are sponsors involved, namely Qindel/TheQVD, who both work on improving the NX-Libs themselves as well as paying others to do so.
+ 
+ From time to time, Arctica will bundle up a release (see e.g. the announcement here: https://sunweavers.net/blog/node/52), but they provide nightly builds as well: https://sunweavers.net/blog/node/20.
  
  ===== Installation Instructions =====
  
  This should work for Debian Jessie as well as for Ubuntu Server 16.04 - please take note of the distribution-specific differences marked within the text.

  If you don't/can't do that (e.g. because you're running Windows or macOS on your client), connecting with X2GoClient 4.0.5.2 should still work, though you might not experience all the benefits of the new NX-Libs.
