Every year or so, I look for a better way to handle remote desktops for the 2%<br>
of the time I need one. ssh works the other 98% of the time.<br>
<br>
For the last 3+ yrs, FreeNX + remote NoMachine v3.5.x client (Linux/Windows) has<br>
been working extremely well. I'm using it now. I understand that FreeNX isn't<br>
working on Ubuntu 14.04 (yet?),<br>
<br>
Requirements:<br>
* Linux-based remote desktops (don't want Windows)<br>
* secure (key based); MANDATORY<br>
* stable; MANDATORY<br>
* fast performance for "productivity apps"; MANDATORY<br>
* Clients must support Windows and Linux, Android is nice-to-have<br>
* install from well-known repos, PPAs - NOT SOURCE<br>
* F/LOSS<br>
* don't need video streaming and<br>
* audio is nice-to-have<br>
<br>
Has anyone switched over to x2go since FreeNX seems abandoned?<br>

<br>
If so, how is the performance, usability, stability of x2go?<br>
Is the performance similar to NX or better?<br>
<br>
Has anyone setup a Guacamole server? This is a HTML5, web-based remote desktop.<br>
I'm less thrilled about allowing the entire world access to the front-door of a<br>
network. Would only deploy this with a VPN mandatory. Still - any users out there?<br>
<br>
Respect to RDP and VNC users, but compared to NX performance - those are dogs<br>
and both require a separate tunnel/vpn for security. I actually remote into NX,<br>
then connect to Windows machines with RDP on the same LAN. Works good enough.<br>
