NOOB : Desktop ?

Posted on January 15, 2013

Helllooo !

So … I’m a complete Noob and I have a question (Don’t blame me :( ) : I have installed a lightweight desktop environment into my VPS, but I wanted to know if it is possible to install a better desktop environment like Ubuntu 12.10 ? And how to ?

I don’t know if my question is easy to understand … :/

Anyway, thanks for your answers.

There is no configuration necessary you just launch the Ubuntu Desktop image as a new virtual server and then click on “Access” > “Console”

You can save yourself the trouble and just select one of the “Desktop” labelled Ubuntu distributions from the Images section when creating your virtual server and it will already be installed for you.
