 +==== Is there an X2Go server daemon/service that needs to be started? ====
 +
 +Strictly speaking, the only daemon/service that needs to be running is the SSH daemon. If users can connect to your server via an SSH client, then they should be able to connect via X2Go Client or PyHoca-GUI/PyHoca-CLI.
 +
 +There is an X2Go server init script called "x2goserver". Depending on your Linux distro, there may be systemd service called "x2gocleansessions.service" instead. It is highly recommended that this service be enabled. It handles cleaning up sessions.

 +==== You have 3 clients. Which client should I use? ====
 +
 +If you are in doubt, pick the regular X2Go Client (x2goclient). It is the most widely used and tested.
 +
 +  * The regular X2Go Client (x2goclient) is optimized for thin client & single-session usage, but can still be used on any desktop/laptop computer.
 +  * PyHoca-GUi is optimized for users who want to connect to multiple sessions at once, and already know how to use X2Go. For example, a sysadmin administrating multiple servers.
 +  * PyHoca-CLI is launched via command-line args; similar to vncviewer or rdesktop/xfreerdp. It is also suitable for connecting to multiple sessions at once.
