 ==== Can I install FreeNX and X2Go Server on one system? ====
-Yes - the NX libraries of X2Go are actually the most recent stable versions of NXv3 libs available. They are versioned as 3.5.0.x and include the patchset developed by X2Go and [[https://github.com/ArcticaProject/nx-libs|others]]. NoMachine dropped the NXv3 development branch completely and NXv4 was released as closed source only :-(.

 In former times the NX libs shipped with X2Go installed into an X2Go'ish location so that they would not interfere with the original NX libraries.

 Having separate tarballs made maintenance more difficult, so they were combined into one as the X2Go project started redistributing them.

 Further bonuses of X2Go are that you can pause a desktop session and take it to a different thin client for further use.
+==== Does X2Go support compositors? ====
+No, X2Go doesn't support X11 screen compositors. The compositors will be disabled.

 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.
-Depending on your Linux distribution, there may be an X2Go server init script called ''x2goserver'' or a systemd service called ''x2gocleansessions.service''. It is highly recommended that this service be enabled. It handles session cleanup, but does '''not''' provide X2Go "login functionality". You must not assume that the service is running correctly if logins via any of the X2Go client applications are possible. It is also '''not''' a prerequisite for new X2Go sessions.
