Well I think a GUI based system is very important as most of us hates CUI (although its extremely fast and consumes less resources), so I just figured out how to connect to my new server with GUI at http://dotkb.com. After a whole day of study over the internet I was finally able to make out, how to install GUI on a VZ server. FYI, its posted below:

Running KDE inside an OpenVZ container is a rather easy task. And this may help you in case you wanna have an online office available from any where in the world.

In order to accomplish this you will need a CentOS VPS, this can be done with other linux distributions also, but I’ll stick to CentOS.

First of all let’s make sure we have the latest packages installed:

Now let’s install KDE:

Here you have a list from which you can add more, or remove:
kdemultimedia.i386 : Multimedia applications for the K Desktop Environment
kdegames.i386 : K Desktop Environment – Games
kdeaccessibility.i386 : K Desktop Environment – Accessibility
kdepim.i386 : PIM (Personal Information Manager) for KDE
kdeutils.i386 : K Desktop Environment – Utilities
kdeadmin.i386 : Administrative tools for KDE.
kdegraphics.i386 : K Desktop Environment – Graphics Applications
kdenetwork.i386 : K Desktop Environment – Network Applications
kdeaddons.i386 : K Desktop Environment – Plugins
kdeartwork.i386 : Additional artwork (themes, sound themes, …) for KDE
kdeartwork-icons.i386 : icon themes (kdeclassic, slick ….) for KDE

Now that KDE is installed, it’s time to install the vnc server:

Next we’ll need to add an user under KDE will run:

The final step is to configure and start the vnc server:

With the above commands you configured the password and the vnc server started, but the problem now is that it’s not using KDE.
Let’s kill the vnc server and edit the configuration file that was automatically generated:

Make sure the configuration file looks like this:

The only thing I changed was the last line.
Start the vnc server once more:

Now you are ready to use the new desktop, simply connect using your favorite VNC viewer, but remember to use the port 5901 (some VNC servers use port 5801).

You may start VNC on browsers by typing <your IP adress like 192.0.0.27>:5801

Please comment for in case you need any further clarifications.

Well this quote “Money is the root of all worries and C:\ is the root of alldirectories.”, might seem to be a lil funny but still is incorrect.
Yes, incorrect is what I mean. Money is the root to all worries and evil, but can you expect life without money, I dont think so. Its the basic of the economy, we all need something in exchange to others and we have kept notes for doing that with ease.

N ya C:\ is also not the root to every directory.
Actually MicroSoft has made thing very simple, but has diverted paths of many people around from the reality.
Now the real thing that comes out is that “/” is the root to every directory, every file and every drive which is mounted as so called C:\

So setup your mind towards reality, start using Linux start having fun on the better things. I would strongly suggest that you download a copy of linux(ubuntu linux-just google it) and work upon it, use it.

All of my servers are linux based and I hate using a windows server, as its creepy, bad, slow and very virus friendly(although its human friendly also). For a linux OS you need to work upon just once in te starting and then after that things will become good and you would start loving it when the setup is done.

Voillaaa…
