Frank, Thank you ! I did not know of X2Go. I like X11, so I like the idea of
X2Go.
I will have to test this as soon as I get time.
https://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/doc:newtox2go
Basic features of X2Go
Graphical Remote Desktop that works well over both low bandwidth and high
bandwidth connections
The ability to disconnect and reconnect to a session, even from another
client
Support for sound
Support for as many simultaneous users as the computer's resources will
support (NX3 free edition limited you to 2.)
Traffic is securely tunneled over SSH
File Sharing from client to server
Printer Sharing from client to server
Easily select from multiple desktop environments (e.g., MATE, GNOME, KDE)
Remote support possible via Desktop Sharing
The ability to access single applications by specifying the name of the
desired executable in the client configuration or selecting one of the
pre-defined common applications
George.
