the X2Go packages we build against RHEL+EPEL indeed depend on EPEL.  
For RHEL5+6 they don't work with vanilla RHEL (not tested, but we  
depend on quite some recent third-party software with some packages).

Can you please fix the corresponding page on the wiki yourself? I am  
fine with those changes and they will provide more clarity.

Please also add the information, that distro-native packages are also  
available and that they should be preferred. The EPEL/Fedora packaging  
we do (from my side) mainly focuses on development snapshots for those  
distros and for short-cutting review/packaging cycles in the official  
distro archives.

You may also add such similar information to [2] (?).

Thanks+Greets,
Mike
