Hey all,
I'm looking for some info on setting up a headless Ubuntu desktop. I do not want to have the system automatically login (not sure if default screen sharing in 12.04 needs this) but I really dont want to ssh in and start and a VNC session everytime I want to login. I would really like to be able to just open and session, see the standard login and go from there if possible, does freeNX do this? I'm going to be using the box for video crunching and some other tasks that just need the CPU power so (GUI would be preffered). Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
hitime
