Linux with interface
Hello guys.
In my company we do interface tests with robot.
I tried to install interface in an Ubuntu distro, but was not work.
In Linode, are there some distro with native UI?
Thanks!

Since Linode is focused on working from the terminal, we don't offer any distributions with a native UI; however, you're welcome to parse through some resources to help you successfully install a graphical interface for your purposes:
- How do I install a Desktop/GUI on my Linode? - there are additional resources linked in this post!
- Run a Graphical Environment on Linode with Glish
For full disclosure, I have not tried to do this myself and so I cannot vouch for the instructions provided, but they will help get you moving in the right direction. In addition, it's my understanding that installing and utilizing a GUI with your Linux Server is very resource-intensive, and so you may want to keep that in mind when choosing a Linode plan for your testing.

I hope your 'bot has some sort of timeout resiliency built-in… Otherwise, you're going to be chasing errors caused by high network latency from now until the end of time.
