[X2Go-User] X2Go vs. XRDP

[brian town]

Hmm, my only other avenue when looking at it to diagnose our issues was our
network engineer doing packet inspection on all LAN traffic or just the
applications our users were using were too intensive ( I can't see that
being the case, though it is very old software that requires at minimum
20-30+ Xterm windows open)
