RE: GUI for Servers

I personally haven't had any issues with it. I recently deployed it on a
bunch of Dell T300's running Dell Open Manage, Vmware server 2, and
webmin. Since I won't be doing a lot of the administration, it works
perfectly in our environment. It's very straightforward and novice users
are able to administrate the box easily with little to no linux
experience. There's lots of good info out there for it.

When I was looking for some kind of control panel for my ubuntu server I

found on some sites info that webmin actually doesn't work well with
Ubuntu?!?

Instead of using a full blown GUI in a server environment, I prefer to
use webmin. It gives a web interface to do most if not all of the
administration you'll need to do.

sudo apt-get install webmin

Hi, all --

Is it possible to install the graphic user interface on an Ubuntu
server?


Assuming you are looking for the Gnome interface, use
sudo apt-get ubuntu-desktop
to install it.

Good luck,
