+====== Installing FastX Client on Linux ======
+Create the install directory from FastX tarball, link it to a common spot, and set permissions on it so everyone can read/execute:
+<code>
+cd /opt
+tar xvzf ~/FastX3-3.2.16.rhel7.x86_64.tar.gz
+mv /opt/FastX3 /opt/FastX3-3.2.16
+ln -s /opt/FastX3-3.2.16 /opt/FastX3
+chmod -R 755 /opt/FastX3/
+chown -R root:root /opt/FastX3/
+</code>
+Create symlink to /usr/local/bin/FastX2 to add the launcher to everyone's PATH:
+<code>
+ln -s /opt/FastX3/FastX3 /usr/local/bin/FastX3
+</code>
+Create .desktop file at ''%%/usr/share/applications/FastX3.desktop%%'' with the contents:
+<code>
+[Desktop Entry]
+Version=1.0
+Name=FastX 3
+Comment=Use FastX 3 to connect to workstations
+Exec=/usr/local/bin/FastX3
+Path=/opt/FastX3/
