I've used Windows all my life. This is completely new territory to me. Heck, I don't even know DOS!
I bought a server for my gaming clan to collocate in a datacentre so I can stop forking over cash to GameServers. GS uses Linux on its servers however I'm unsure which version they use. To get my feet wet so to speak, I downloaded and installed Ubuntu 8.10 Server Edition. I assumed that it would have some sort of desktop. If it does, I do not see it. And being an absolute Linux virgin, I have no idea on how to get there.
All I see is some sort of login screen.
adekuyper@adadk:~$
I downloaded the PDF version of the Ubuntu Pocket Guide but even that shows Ubuntu being setup with a GUI in place.
Please, what do I do next?
