      Spin up a <<INSERT YOUR FASVORITE DISTRO HERE>> VM and install X2Go?

      Mint 18 is pretty easy to get this set up and working on.

      Yes, my actual request was on the suggestions on the distro 🙂 I wanted something light weight and just chrome installed.

            I use this for a remote site, and I let mint start from the iso every time. It's like a mini-VDI! However, I am able to connect to that site directly through the classic vcenter client (the 'dot-net client), and I only use the mint vm to test things like internal to external routing, web interface tools that are internal only, or similar things, and all done through the console function of the vsphere client.

              Just in time, got an update from the support team.

              Performance is in already in 6.5 (html5 vs flash), but we've seen a bug that cause the entire cluster to hard crash at the same time. Vmware engineering is telling us that bug is due to be fixed in Q2, so once that is done we'll be looking at upgrading clients.

              So till Q2 i need to use something else.

                You mean using the live cd?

                  but that's just how Linux Mint works. You boot from the live CD and inside you choose to install to local disk if you want.

                      Exactly, and I just don't install. I don't even have a 'disk' assigned to that VM; just a CD.
