 +X2Go also performs SSH authentication in a different manner than NoMachine does.

 No. The postgres database is only needed if you are planing to use more than one connected server (server array). By default X2Go Server installs with SQLite3 support enabled. To set up X2Go with PostgreSQL as DB backend you have to edit the X2Go Server's configuration in /etc/x2go.  No. The postgres database is only needed if you are planing to use more than one connected server (server array).

 +===== Client FAQ =====
 +
 +==== Is there an MS Windows Client? ====
 +
 +Yes, there are two: [[doc:installation:x2goclient#ms_windows|X2Go Client]] and [[doc:installation:pyhoca-gui#ms_windows|PyHoca-GUI]].
 +
 +==== Is there a MacOS Client? ====
 +
 +[[doc:installation:x2goclient#macos_x|Yes!]]
 +
 +==== Why is there no sound using Linux? ====
 +Probably because the server does not listen to client connections. Check whether the file ''/etc/pulse/default.pa'' on the client contains the line:
 +<code>
 +load-module module-native-protocol-tcp auth-cookie=".pulse-cookie"
 +</code>
 +If not, add it. Alternatively you can load the module at runtime:
 +<code>
 +pactl load-module module-native-protocol-tcp 'auth-cookie=".pulse-cookie"'
 +</code>
 +
 +==== Can I use x2goprint with Windows Clients? ====
 +
 +To set a print target, you'll need ''x2goclient''. For example you can use the RDP tunneling feature of X2Go. FIXME
