I haven't been able to make x2go work on Fedora with xfce from a windows
wkst for several releases. Currently if anything requiring a gui needs to be run
on the Fedora wkst remotely from a windows box I just ssh with x11 forwarding.
The problem that remains is if I need access to the currently running console
session on the Fedora wkst to access a running gui based application.
What alternatives to x2go exist to permit this?
FreeNX (what x2go is based on), several VNC packages (RealVNC, VPNC,
TigerVNC), Remmina, TeamViewer, vinigre and others. Just google "remote
desktop linux" and have at it. A fairly good review of some of them:
Interesting set of reviews, thanks for posting it!
But a caveat: VPNC is NOT a VNC server or client, VPNC is a Cisco client,
open source, not endorsed by Cisco.
Ah, yeah, sorry about that. I meant VNC. I have to use vpnc a lot with
our VPNs and I get that swapped around on occasion. I'm getting old! :-/
I've used it a LOT in days past,
before everybody seemingly standardized on Cisco's SSL client instead.
VPNC is intresting in that it runs entirely in userspace, so bugs
should be less prone to evilness.
I haven't had a lot of problems with vpnc with our Cisco ASA5520s. The
only gripe I have is that the vpnc client will just stop sending
data...generally about 24 hours after it's been started. You have to
kill it and restart it. Gets annoying sometimes. I just have to log out
of my various IM clients and kill my vpnc processes before I leave the
office each night to keep from being bitten by that one. Ah well.
Now, where's my bottle of Geritol and my Depends?.........
