Hi Jim -- > ..and of course real men don't use GUIs. Sure :) (BTW, in MS Windows I do usually use Far Manager ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FAR_Manager ) not Windows Explorer...) Well, I'd use GUI - what is the usual way to setup and activate GUI shell/Window Manager for a hosted Linux VPS? AFAIU I have to setup Linux GUI shell/Window Manager on a VPS - what are the most often used lightweight Linux GUI shell distributions for VPS? When I get such a Linux GUI shell/Window Manager up&running on my VPS, h ow do I run a remote Linux desktop in Windows? As described in the following article? http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/windows-and-office/how-do-i-run-a-remote-linux-desktop-in-windows/ Thank you.
