We looked at many different remote access programs when looking for a remote access solution for Rutgers University’s Computer Science Department. None of them compared to the ease of use, value and performance we got from X2Go. | We looked at many different remote access programs when looking for a remote access solution for Rutgers University’s Computer Science Department.

The Computer Science Department at Rutgers University is 90% Linux based, but our users mostly use Windows and Macs at home. Noticing that most users have grown up with Windows and Mac graphical user interfaces (GUI), providing a remotely accessible Linux GUI is a crucial step to avoid the steep learning curve of the Linux SSH command line interface. | The Computer Science Department at Rutgers University is 90% Linux based, but our users mostly use Windows and Macs at home.
