## Graphical Logins
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Initially all access will be using ssh (via university [VPN](https://its.uiowa.edu/support/article/1876) from off campus). Graphical logins can be accomplished using [FastX](https://clas.uiowa.edu/linux/help/fastx) or simply via "ssh -Y" from on campus. Since the university VPN has a maximum connection time of 8 hours, we're anticipating that connections via an alternative ssh port will be implemented. [X2go](https://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/download:start) is now available as well. In any case, for graphical logins, I strongly encourage you to use the MATE desktop environment. KDE has a severe problem with their Dolphin file manager trying to index the entire file system. Unless you know how to disable this indexing behavior, avoid KDE.
