[Discuss] Spice for a physical server?

[abreauj at gmail.com (John Abreau)]

I tried to install x2goserver, but it fails to install:

> Error: Package: nxagent-3.5.0.17-3.1.x86_64 (X11_RemoteDesktop_x2go)
>           Requires: xorg-x11-fonts-core

Apparently "xorg-x11-fonts-core" is a SuSE package that doesn't exist on
CentOS 6,
and x2goserver won't install without it.
