Review comment:
       My thought, here, is that, instead of trying to cover what the capabilities of specific distributions, versions, and VNC servers support, it might be better go more generic. Something more like `Your distribution and VNC server may not support clipboard functionality - please check the documentation or locate a VNC server/version that does.`
   
   I'm just not sure the Guacamole Manual is the place to try to document (and keep up-to-date) the capabilities of various distributions and VNC servers. I don't think that'll scale well :-).
