Thanks Panner. i'll have a look at X2Go. I've got 14.04 working as a test server with VNC and need to decide if I build my main server at 14.04 or 16.04 and getting VNC or similar working is key.

Hi xacto. Could you post your solution. I am about to build a new server and want to install 16.04 rather than 14.04 if there is a solution that works. I am new to Linux but have successfully built a test server on 14.04 using the have the know guide.
Many Thanks
