File Server Setup... how should i go about this...

[flipjargendy]

i plan on using my desktop computer as a fileserver. i've got the base system running well. At the install i chose to install packages for all the servers except a Sql server. What i do need to know is how should i go about this since i won't have a monitor soon. i don't want to use a monitor for the fileserver. i want to be able to remotely connect from my laptop, or any other computer on the network.

The main reason i want to connect this way is because i intend on using the computer as a webserver as well. i don't plan on a lot of traffic on the fileserver or the webserver (i'm sure i can find some howto for the Apache part). Is there a way i can easily remotely login to the server and run FluxBox, not just telnet to the computer.

Thanks

You can remote to the server through ssh and execute anything you want.

Wow, i didn't think of that. i'll give it a shot once i get my ethernet cables made.

Thanks for the help.
