Using x2go

x2go will allow you to connect to a linux server (linappserv) from a linux, Windows or Mac client. x2go is designed to reduce the effect of the latency which can make X windows piped through ssh connections difficult to use.

If you are using a linux client x2go may be part of the distribution and can be installed with yum or apt-get.

If you are using a distribution which doesn't come with an x2go client you can download it from here.
