Two methods are often mentioned as alternatives to X-forwarding: X2Go and VNC. X-forwarding is inefficient in that it needs to send a lot of information accross the network to an unknown display. While this method usually works well within a fast local network it is almost unusable when used outside the local network and the application is graphically demanding. Traditionally, running programs with graphical output remotely has been donde using X-forwarding (-X or -Y options) via a SSH connection. You can connect from a computer running Linux, Windows or Mac OS X. The Linux computer you are accessing is the X2Go Server. With X2Go, you mainly access Linux computers. X2Go is a Remote Desktop solution, which some vendors vaguely call remote control. X2Go enables you to access a graphical desktop of a computer over a low bandwidth (or high bandwidth) connection.
