Being new to Ubuntu I followed the instructions on how to set up my spare machine as a server to my main PC and laptops. All is great and i can access my server using Putty. However I would like to also use the Gnome desktop on the server machine and access this using VNC viewer. I obviously need help to do this ... I have the full Ubuntu 8.04 installed on the machine so how do I start the desktop and then setup VNC thanks in advance
You can install the desktop like this: Code: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop Take a look here: http://www.howtoforge.com/configure-remote-access-to-your-ubuntu-desktop
