-Students can use X2Go to connect to their Linux VMs after their educator sets up their lab with X2Go and the GUI packages for a Linux graphical desktop environment
+In this article, you learn how to connect to a Linux-based lab VM in Azure Lab Services by using X2Go. Before you can connect with X2Go, the lab needs to have the X2Go and the GUI packages for a Linux graphical desktop environment.
 
-Students need to find out from their educator which Linux graphical desktop environment their educator has installed.  This information is needed in the next steps to connect using the X2Go client.
+When you connect to the lab VM by using X2Go, you need to provide the Linux graphical desktop environment version. For example, select `XFCE` if you're using either XFCE or Xubuntu graphical desktop environments. You can get this information from the person that created the lab.
 
 ## Install X2Go client
 
-Install the [X2Go client](https://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/doc:installation:x2goclient) on your local computer.  Follow the instructions that match the client OS you are using.

 ## Connect to the VM using X2Go client
 
-1. Copy SSH connection information for VM. For instructions to get the SSH command, see [Connect to a Linux lab VM Using SSH](connect-virtual-machine.md#connect-to-a-linux-lab-vm-using-ssh).  You need this information to connect using the X2Go client.
