Assuming you are using a compatible desktop environment:

I have found that EL6, EL7, Ubuntu 12.04 and Ubuntu 14.04 all work well.

Ubuntu 14.04 works great with the MATE PPA, like Ubuntu MATE 14.04 LTS uses.

About a year ago X2Go Server's support for EL6 and EL7 was buggy, but
it is much better now.
