 In the following article we will explain how to set up an X2Go Thin Client environment. In the following we will use three technical terms that we want to define/explain before we start:

 <note>The X2Go TCE has been developed on/for Debian GNU/Linux. -- You can surely use any GNU/Linux distribution as X2Go Server (providing that the ''x2goserver'' package is available for the server's distro). The boot environment for the X2Go PXE Server has been developed on Debian GNU/Linux and also been tested on Ubuntu GNU/Linux. The X2Go Thin Client chroot can be configured to use Ubuntu GNU/Linux, but it is __highly recommended__ to leave the defaults and use Debian GNU/Linux for creating the X2Go TCE chroot.</note>

 In the following description we will describe a simple X2Go TCE installation, using two separate hosts as X2Go Server and X2Go PXE Server. The explanation presumes that you either install on Debian GNU/Linux or Ubuntu GNU/Linux. If you (for testing purposes) use the same machine as X2Go Server and X2Go PXE Server, please perform described steps for either of the machines on the same system.
-The resulting X2Go Thin Client chroot will be a Debian GNU/Linux (wheezy) system by default.

 Debian does not ship so-called non-free firmware in its main package archive area. However, several network cards (and other TCE relevant devices) require the installation of a firmware package from Debian non-free.
