======X2Go Ubuntu Installation======

  * **Step 1**: Open a shell (Note: on most systems, you can to this by typing in Ctrl-Alt-t).
  * **Step 2**: Type in **sudo apt-get install x2goclient**. Hit Enter.
  * You will be prompted for your password.  Type it, then hit enter.  Note that as you type your password, the screen won't change (no *s will appear).  This is normal; the computer is still registering your typing.

  * **Step 3**: You might be prompted with a message like "After this operation, 2,733 kB of additional disk space will be used.  Do you want to continue? [Y\n]"  If this message appears, type in "y" and hit enter.  If this message didn't appear, that's perfectly normal as well.  Regardless, a lot of text will appear on the screen (for example, see below).  If this produces error messages, feel free to email <csintern@cs.vassar.edu> for help!
