Unit193https://help.ubuntu.com/11.10/serverguide/C/index.html ?04:14
MZIGGAyeah04:14
MZIGGAi know, been reading it for hours04:14
MZIGGAbiggest question is GUI or no GUI04:15
holsteinMZIGGA: if you need a GUI, run one04:16
holsteini found it helpful when transitioning to a CLI only server04:17
MZIGGAany gui prefered over all the others04:18
MZIGGAor they all the same04:18
holsteinMZIGGA: they are not at all "the same" though some are similar, and you can prefer which ever you want04:19
MZIGGAok so i tryed to install x11 gui and i still boot to the CLI04:24
holsteinMZIGGA: if its ubuntu, maybe try starting with a default light environment like lubuntu-desktop04:25
MZIGGAubuntu 11.1004:27
holsteinMZIGGA: you can also install lubuntu, and use it as a server if you prefer04:28
holsteinOR, install the lubuntu-desktop meta pacakge im suggesting... or xubuntu-desktop04:28
MZIGGAlooking for the command for that04:29
holsteinMZIGGA: sudo apt-get install04:29
MZIGGAsudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop ???04:30
holsteinMZIGGA: i suggest doing some research, and decide what you need/want and why04:30
MZIGGAthat i do know04:30
holsteinthat *will* install the lubuntu-desktop metapackage.. but do you want it? that'll be like as if you have installed lubuntu04:31
MZIGGAweb hosting and files storage and file transfer server04:31
MZIGGAthats what i want04:31
holsteinMZIGGA: you dont *need* a gui for that04:31
holsteinMZIGGA: you mentioned wanting one, and LXDE is a light one.. you can do all of that from lubuntu, or any *buntu04:32
MZIGGAunderstandable04:34
MZIGGAjust not sure how yet04:34
MZIGGAlinux is just really new04:34
MZIGGAno me that is04:34
holsteinMZIGGA: take it slow.. also, those live CD's i suggested do all of that, and i learned alot obout servers using them04:35
holsteindecide what you need to sever via the web, and set that up.. or try one of the live CD's i suggested with drupal or joomla pre-configured04:35
MZIGGAthats what im trying to do04:37
