Hello, I guess most of you already noticed the lack of a graphical desktop environment on the Linux VPS plans (and the dedicated plans too). So here's how you do to install one and how you can use it by connecting with remote desktop which is available on most Windows computers out of the box.
First of all, update your system (over SSH)
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
Install remote remote vnc server, must do this before installing xrdp. if you have installed xrdp prior to tightvncserver Remove xrdp by typing sudo apt-get remove xrdp
sudo apt-get install tightvncserver
Install Remote Desktop Protocol
sudo apt-get install xrdp
install XFCE for Remote Desktop environment
sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
Setup xsession to use XFCE
echo "xfce4-session" > ~/.xsession
Restart xrdp
sudo service xrdp restart
