is it possible to install a gui To manage the server No cl
I was wondering if I could install some type of gui
to administrate the server I am not talking about something like cPanel as it only deals with web servers. I will be running predominantly an Internet radio service as well as a IRC server and possibly one or two gaming servers ram permitting of course
am I out of luck and have to go back to the insecure Windows world of overblown ram usage reboots every five days. I'm exaggerating but you get the idea
Once again I do apologise if this is beyond the scope of possibility, but I must say, even though I haven't be able to do much with this server. It is fast, reliable haven't need to reboot it to do updates apart from when I moved to a higher plan. I also apologise for the bad spelling/grammar as stated above, I use speech recognition software, which is not always 100% reliable
I should also mention I had thought about vnc , but am a bit concerned given its security track record

I suggest you try webmin. If you don't want to do anything unusual it might just work for you.
idea what all these directories are nor do I really know the proper commands to do certain things
I am not incompetent by any stretch of the imagination having used and maintained
servers as well as run various forms of UNIX over the years as my main operating systems currently using meant and using my speech recognition software under wine
I also one question regarding Apache should I run it as root
I haven't seen any information/guide a simply say install Apache like this
Et cetera
thanks for your help

Consider instead using nx, which supplements X with caching to eliminate most blocking round-trips, or with VNC which sends images.
