Hello Weblog visitors. If you wan’t to see x2go in action or if you have questions about it, you’ll have soon the chance to visit our booth in Bottrop.  The Event is named “OpenRheinRuhr” – you can visit their pages here (http://www.openrheinruhr.de/).

If you wan’t to give x2go a try before this, you’re invited to follow a fine little manual on ProLinux (http://www.pro-linux.de/berichte/x2go-ubuntu.html).

After the survey about desktop virtualizations shows that it is important for you to let the users have access to their own devices, please use the comment feature of this blog to let us know which devices are needed! This would be a great help.

best regards,

The number of emails with the subject “desktop virtualization” is increasing. All of them asking for a “one virtual machine  for one user” model. A terminal server normally can handle more than one user on one machine and linux really has great tools to respect different wishes of different users on one system. With limits you can control the cpu usage etc…

Surly you can use both models with x2go and yes – we are working on virtual machine integration – but: is a terminal server a valid solution for desktop virtualisation?

Feel free to comment on this topic or visit our survey page:

Hello,

after meeting the Skolelinux people again, we are planning to get  x2go components into debian. This of cause is a goal which can’t be achieved without a lot of work to be done. Our first step will be “building a x2goclient Perl module” and getting it into CPAN. If you wan’t to follow the progess, you can join our development mailing list.

best regards,

Heinz
