No. Just no.  Not if you think that means there is just one Desktop
and it is physically attached to the box you are installing.  That
hasn't been a reasonable assumption for anything running X, ever, and
even less so with freenx/x2go.   You want the applications on a
stable, stably networked server and the displays out where people
work.
