All you have to do is copy/paste the unique key that the install will generate from /etc/nxserver/client.id.dsa.key into the client config window, pick unix, gnome desktop, and connect. Normally the only thing I touch in the server config is to adjust DISPLAY_BASE to be unique since I often run multiple sessions as the 1st and only user on different targets which would otherwise get the same display number but that won't be necessary on your first install. x2go may have more current work and better support for sound, mapped drives, etc., but I normally just use those facilities from the host with the display or the native network support from host running the desktop. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com
