Although the RAKsmart VPS host has two systems to choose from, Linux and Windows, sometimes our project software may run better in the Linux system than in the WIN system. After all, the WINDOWS system takes up more resources. Under the same configuration, a larger resource configuration is required to run the software. The difference between the RAKsmart Linux VPS host and the general Linux VPS is that it can install Gnome desktop system, which can be remotely controlled as some of our friends use Linux desktop system.
For example, when we operate MT4 Forex software or Amazon, EBAY and other projects, we need to use the remote desktop system. In this article, we will install it together.
First, select Debian Desktop Gnome system
We can reinstall the system directly in the background of RAKSMART, or enter the SolusVM panel REBUILD to install the system. Seeing the above figure, we choose "Debian 6.0.5 x86_64 Desktop Gnome v1" system. Here we can also choose other GNOMEs, but I will use this to see. Because the Linux system is also used in normal times, which is also Debian's.
Second, view the VNC login password
After installing the system, we need to use VNC to log in to the remote desktop and connect to GNOME.
Here, we need to use the IP, port and password to connect to VNC. Here, we can search and download "TightVNC" or "vncviewer" software for links. Here, I use the former.
Third, create user management
Here we need to create a user to log in remotely.
1. Create User
useradd rak
passwd rak
Then set the password for the user, remember it, and use it later.
2. Authorization
cd ~/
touch ~/.dmrc
chown rak .dmrc
chmod 644 .dmrc
cd /home
mkdir rak
chown rak rak
chmod 755 rak
Then we can connect after authorization.
Fourth, connect to remote VNC desktop
After connecting, enter our VNC password to log in.
Select the user we created, and then enter the set user password.
Then we can see the Linux desktop. Is it the Linux system computer that some of our friends may be using? (Some friends will use LINUX instead of WIN system for development). There is a browser in the system, so we can log in directly.
To sum up, we can install the GNOME desktop system in the RAKSmart Linux VPS host, which is not available in general businesses. We will share what we will do with this system later.
