   * **Published Applications session (Recommended)** - this allows you to simply run an xterm graphical terminal window from cx2go - you won't see a desktop. Then after you login to chead and run a GUI application, it'll show up in its own window on your machine. It uses less resources on the x2go server so is the recommended choice. This might be a nicer way to do things than to have a single remote desktop window with multiple applications running in it. It also *might* be slightly faster than running MATE or XFCE sessions.   * **Published Applications session (Recommended)** - this allows you to simply run an xterm graphical terminal window from cx2go - you won't see a desktop.
