+X2Go enables you to access a //graphical desktop// of a computer over a //low bandwidth// (or high bandwidth) connection. {{ :x2go1.jpg?direct&200|}}
 X2Go is a //[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remote_desktop|Remote Desktop]]// solution, which some vendors vaguely call //Remote Control//. This is not to be confused with Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection, which is a competing Remote Desktop solution and protocol.
-With X2Go, you can access Linux computers. The Linux computer you are accessing is the //X2Go Server//.
+With X2Go, you mainly access Linux computers. The Linux computer you are accessing is the //X2Go Server//.
+(There are ways to connect to a Windows computer as well; some of them are only available with the Linux X2Go Client.)
 You can connect from a computer running Linux, Windows or Mac OS X. This computer is the //X2Go Client//.

 === Advanced features of X2Go ===
-  * [[wiki:advanced:published-applications|Published Applications]]: This is similar to Citrix MetaFrame/Presentation Server/XenApp, where a server-side list of available applications is displayed on the client, and you can run any number of them from within the same session. Citrix does this as an extension of the regular '''Start''' menu on Windows, while for X2Go, you right-click on the X2Go Systray ('''Notification Area''', in MS lingo) icon.

   * The ability to access a Windows computer that supports RDP via [[wiki:advanced:tce:rdp#x2go-proxied_rdp_sessions|X2Go-proxied RDP]]. The main advantage of accessing RDP this way is improved performance over low bandwidth connections.
-  * The Linux X2Go client can also serve as a graphical front-end to rdesktop/xfreerdp, so you don't need an X2Go server at all if all you want to do is connect to an RDP server. Of course, X2Go-specific accelleration features are unavailable in that mode.

 You can then enter your username and password and connect to the X2Go server.
 Advanced authentication methods (SSH keys, GSSAPI/Kerberos) are also available in the X2Go Client GUI.
