Phew, you did have me scared there for a moment!

I can understand that to a degree - if the occasional loss of an
unmanned vehicle is financially acceptable (because the chances of
that happening are so low), compared to the savings on OS costs, then
that's obviously a valid business decision.  Machines can be replaced,
after all.

I'd still be scared if it was a manned sub, though - but hey, I'm a
"tried and true" philosophy guy - when I'm not dealing with computers,
I prefer to have machinery around me that can be fixed with hammer,
screwdriver, wrench and some percussive maintenance. ;-)
I guess it shows that I used to volunteer as train staff and in the
maintenance crew of a 1960's era railbus - that's where we held our
first X2Go community events in 2012 and 2013:

If for any reason you need to fall back to Mint 15, Mike#1 has posted
a quick description of how to build the packages, and he's available
for paid consultancy as well, should you need to go down that route
and get stuck.

Very cool.  If you run X2Go in one of those, we'd love to have some
pictures/screenshots and a short write-up on how you use it.  That
would absolutely rock to have that on our success stories page.

Kind Regards,
Stefan
