One possible solution: 1) use PXE boot for your thin clients, mounting everything over the network. 2) in local GNOME, run only a bottom panel with menu for apps that needs to be run locally. 3) On the remote GNOME, run only a top panel. Now, instead of running a complete GNOME session, simply ru

Hey Mike, No at the moment there is no immediate need to x2go-tunnel youtube movies. I was just wondering if there's any real benefit from speeding up ssh connections and whether crypto accelerators might have an effect overall before I go buy one and test it myself (no need forkin over money for

Hi, no, definitely not. These hardware accelerators usually just take over the CPU consuming public key encryption at the beginning of a connection when keys are exchanged. You can use that hardware if you have issues with CPU load. But it doesn't speed up the data being sent after the connection
