[SOLVED] want to remotely connect to my server

Type ssh (your ip address of your desktop) into the terminal of your server edition. Example ssh 192.168.1.2

how do i find out if i have ssh install on my desktop?
ps: i know i have it on the server b/c i check the box when i first installed it

You don't need it on your desktop computer if the ssh daemon was installed on the server.
To access the server, just open a terminal window and type ssh username@servername or ssh username@serveripaddress using the username you created when you installed the operating system on the server.

Example: ssh joe@192.168.1.100

So your going to use ssh to access the server edition and your going to use Remote desktop to access the Desktop edition desktop.

you can access both over ssh

use ssh -X to forward X apps
