So like many things Linux you have an abundance of riches, but not simplicity. Remote display protocols like Microsofts RDP, VNC and X11.Rather there a number of alternate technical ways, using either: It is surprising that there is no simple standard "out of box" way to achieve this. But I still do and while I can get by with ssh and scripts for many things sometimes I need the Ubuntu GUI and this is mostly required to be be accessed remotely. So I should never need to access the Ubuntu Gnome Desktop ever again.


I read the book, the blogs and the raves and rants and know I should automate all system admin activities with scripts, bits, hacks and band aids and control everything via SSH or HTTP/S. Who needs a GUI when you have a command line ?
