hello everybody, I'm a complete newbie (1st time posting to a mailing list, beginer in the unix world, never heard of SSH or other things like that) and so I ask for your indulgence if I do something wrong or don't understand something...
now that said, I need the help and advices of some people with skills in VNC servers configuration. 1st of all, who I am and what I want (and don't want) to do: - I want to setup a home server (mainly file server) and administrate it remotely - I chosed to install Ubuntu 8.10 on it (my choice is discutable according to many linux advanced users, but this is another topic) - I'm a complete beginer, and I would like to use as few terminal and manual editing of configuration files as possible - I installed webmin in order to administrate that server remotely (I can do almost everything I need this way) - I want to add a VNC server in order to be able to performe graphically some operations I can't do using webmin Since I don't want to ever touch my server (that will be screen,mouse&keyboardless, stored in a cupboard), I need a VNC server that will be active before login. I checked this: http://www.realvnc.com/products/free/4.1/x0.html but there's many thing I don't understand so I don't know if it is even related to what I want to do... If any of you know how I can achieve my goal, I would ve very grateful for any help or link to find some. (since I'm really not an expert, please use simple words ;-) ) if any of you knows a solution not involving VNC and believes that it would be more suitable for what I want to do, please let me also know about it. thank you very much in advance for the quality of your answers -J- _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [email protected] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
