Is anyone using x2go on Centos - and if so, is there any reason to
think about switching from freenx? The old NX client for mac was a
powerpc binary and is no longer supported under mountain lion - and
their new alpha release crashed my mac after an OSX update so I'm
curious if there is anything better around. (And I didn't like the
way the new mac version changed the screen scaling instead of resizing
when you tried to change the window size, but maybe I just didn't
know how to do it).

Will evaluate again once we move production to CentOS as FreeNX has some serious bugs when it comes to remote display forwarding and the only workaround is to use vnc.

One is an unlimited enterprise server(3.5.0) on RHEL 6.4 and the other is the free two concurrent user 3.5.0 version running on CentOS 6.4 offered by NoMachine. It works very well on both. You can change the NoMachine window to either scale the image or adjust the resolution of the window to be 1:1 on the fly. David.
