Introduction
x2go is available as a server for linux distributions and as a client for Windows, MacOS, Linux - Debian / Fedora and their derivatives. The x2go client in a remote instance can connect to a headless VM in an OpenVZ container running the x2go server and the specific GUI bindings (Gnome, KDE, LXDE, etc). Though this article is specific to debian squeeze x2go server install, it can be a general guide with small modifications to suit any distro.
Installing the x2go server in a Debian Squeeze VM
- Create an OpenVZ container based on any debian squeeze template (standard preferred).
- SSH into it as root
- Make sure the squeeze-lts repo is available:
grep squeeze-lts /etc/apt/sources.list
Output: deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian squeeze-lts main contrib
