To access the graphical desktop of a Linux server over low bandwidth connections.

x2go sends an X11 application or desktop on a Linux server over the network to a client on Linux, Windows, or MacOS. It allows keyboard and mouse interaction, sound and printing, and the sending of files to the server. It uses the No Machine NX3 libraries to compress the graphical data so that it can be used over low bandwidth connections. As it uses ssh for the connection it is secure, but a desktop can be shared between multiple clients. Packages are available for many Linux distributions.
