What is X2Go ?
X2Go is an open source remote desktop software for Linux that uses a modified NX 3 protocol. X2Go gives remote access to a Linux system's graphical user interface. It can also be used to access Windows systems through a proxy. Client packages can be run on FreeBSD, Linux, OS X, or Windows
What this Update Addresses ?
1. Much of the power behind Linux comes from the command line and the ability for a system to be managed easily remotely.
2. However, for most users from the Windows world or novice Linux administrators, there may be a preference to have access to the graphical user interface for remote management functionality.
3. Other users may simply have a desktop at home that may need to have graphical applications managed remotely as well.
4. Which ever situation may be the case, there are some inherent security risks such as the remote traffic not being encrypted thus allowing malicious users to sniff the remote desktop session.
