Install X2Go

- [Narrator] The graphical system that currently…underpins Linux is X Windows, or X for short.…X is network-aware, and in fact,…acts like it's running remotely,…even when the application is local,…with both the X Server and the X Client…running on one machine.…Because X is network-aware,…it's very easy to run an application remotely.…The terminology is opposite of what you might think, though.…The X Server talks to the video card, mouse,…and keyboard, so the X Server is on the local computer.…The X Client is run where the application resides,…on the remote computer.…

X provides basic constructs for creating a GUI interface,…like screens, windows, pointers, mouse,…and keyboard inputs.…It doesn't define the look of the interface…or how it works.…X also allows you to remotely export the entire desktop…or just one application.…By default, X doesn't provide encryption.…The down side to X is that remote desktop…only work when you have X Windows…on both the Client host and the Sever host,…enabling Linux or Unix.…The other issue is that X isn't particularly fast.…
