      X2Go is relatively new. But NX is old. I feel like we've been using both official NoMachine NX as well as FreeNX for a decade. And 2X, who competes with NX, was a member of SpiceCorps DFW.

        @scottalanmiller I've usd the Android 2X RDP app a few times. It's not to terribly bad.

        Slightly same subject... are there any X2Go clients available for Android?

          X2Go is just NX. So any NX client would work.

            So what's the functional difference between NX and X11 forwarding?

              Compression. One is an uncompressed protocol, the other is highly compressed.

                Is it more than if you use the -X with forwarding?

                  @johnhooks Another is that NX will support disconnected sessions and resume them when you connect back (much like MS Terminal Services / RDSH).

                    Yes, quite a lot more I believe.

                      That's something I should have put together myself, but I'm too stupid to see lol.

                        NX also does things like tunneling VNC and RDP too.

                          On this subject, what about a linux app that will work with Windows RemoteAPP? Any recomendations?

                            Haven't tried but how does FreeRDP work?

                              @scottalanmiller I'll have to try it on my VM when I get a chance to restart my computer...Oracle Vbox is being annoying, machines won't start except for right after a reboot of the host OS. Haven't figured out where the issue is yet.
