Re: I got one! So, some questions...
[quote name="motherfuckerfoodeater"][quote name="Ice Cream Jonsey"] I know people say you don't need a UI. I need a UI. I have tried Freenx, Remote Desktop and TightViewer. If I do get in, I get a black or a gray screen. Nnnngh. I need to read up on x server versus KDE versus gnome versus vncserver and see what does what. This isn't really a question. [/quote] I've thought about doing something like this (running X windows on a remote server and connecting either directly by an X client or using VNC) and I have always come away with the impression that it will end up being more work that just dealing with the terminal interface. If you need a UI, I'd say that you should find an editor that manages SSH or SFTP connections and use it. Not sure if you're opposed to using Eclipse when someone isn't paying you to do it, but I'm sure there are options there. Also, in a world FULL of free text editors, I have found that shelling out for a copy of Sublime was a great idea. Its trial period is unlimited and feature-complete if you're interested in checking it out.[/quote]
