Since 2007? Wow. I am certain that of course know your ways around https://help.ubuntu.com/ and that - without the slightest doubt - you entered "NFS" as a very simple search keyword right there,...

Try mDNS resolution as provided by avahi. Machines in a common broadcast domain can refer to each other by "hostname.local" [1]. I've found this to work out-of-the-box with Ubuntu Desktop...

If that is a site to site VPN - why would you want to assign IP addresses from your DHCP server? The remote site would have to run it's own DHCP service, wouldn't it?

When I attended the Cisco Networking Academy back in 2000 (which would've lead up to be CCNA ready, took the test later in '05), 80% of all stuff we learnt and spent our time on was networking...

That actually IS the point!

If you were sending directly from your dynamic IP, all your connections would be denied, for exactly the reason that they come from a dynamic IP address.

Single harddisk? a RAID-1 (mirror) might help quite a bit to increase total throughput here, so that simultaneous access (resulting in more or lesse random reads) can be distributed to different...

Of course not, but that's not what I suggested, either.

RDP is Microsoft's Remote Desktop Protocol and there is no server-side support on Ubuntu for RDP, i.e. you cannot share a daesktop with RDP. However, there is an RDP client included with Ubuntu...

You wouldn't even have to go as far as having different/multiple subnets in a single broadcast domain.

A normal PC booting shouldn't issue a PXE request, should it? It will just boot and use DHCP to ask for an address. If it (accidentally) sends PXE request, it will get redirected to the PXE server....

You don't need a full desktop environment on the server for running a sever-based app and have it's graphical output elsewhere. The UNIX-style window system X11/X/Xfree86/X.org (whatever it's been...

Yet another use case for screen.

Install screen and run it after login, it will open one or more virtual terminals/shells from your login shell.


start screen from your login shell:...

I would tend to agree - it's neither "Desktop" nor "Server".

As others said, there is no real "difference" in what makes Ubuntu Desktop and what makes Ubuntu Server - they're just each a...

Hm. Well, the webserver in that router must be b0rken, halfway deactivated or something.



Er, the telnet should've gone to port 80, of course. The shell won't understand the GET command, but...

Screen's far more than that. It is "multiple virtual terminals" within a single (local or remote) terminal/shell. It helps a great deal to administer remote systems: have a single SSH connection to a...

Strange.

We see a HTTP request ("GET /") going to the router. But there is no return code ("200 OK") nor some of the 4xx or 5xx return codes from the web server that would indicate a problem or an...

no.
