Remote access to config FreeBSD server
Hi folks, FreeBSD-6.2-amd64 I'm going to install the captioned OS as server, web/mail/database etc., for test purpose and without X. I'm prepared to connect a workstation for fine tuning the server. Can I use a Linux workstation to do the job because I have no FreeBSD workstation here? OR I must run a FreeBSD workstation. If YES, pls advise where can I find relevent steps to do the job. I'll have SSH enabled on the server. I need GUI browser to connect outside World for searching documents and seeking help. I found elinks not easy to read html website.

You can use any ssh-client on any OS when connecting to the ssh-server of you FreeBSD box. So Linux is fine, but Windows would also be, if you use a real ssh-client for that like PuTTY.

The FreeBSD box does not need to running X11. Personally, I haven't found a good way to work out the minimal X11 installation needed for building and running clients (like Firefox) without ending up building and installing (and thus maintaining) stuff that I don't need (like an X11 server or window managers). If I had a better handle on how to examine dependencies, I could probably do a cleaner installation.
