Adding minimalist GUI to your ubuntu server
Sometimes, a system administrator was bored if watch monitor of their display of linux box. They can't browse the web and looking for information on the web. Although in linux server box is already w3m, i think it's not enough if we often use firefox. For this case, we need to install xserver for our linux server box. OK... here we go first, login to your ubuntu server with root account or ordinary user account, then type in console sudo -i, this will prompt a password dialog, type your user password. Second, update apt package cache with, apt-get update Third, type apt-get install xorg firefox. This will prompt something like this:
root@stm:~# apt-get install xorg firefox
