To run your PHP and python scripts, and to host your sites on a stable environment, we all know that Linux is better than Windows. But if you need a remote desktop, we are having to go for windows. How many knew that Linux servers can be used for remote desktop too? The good thing is that you can have as many sessions as you like, and each session has a grid of 64x64 desktops. If you wanna know how to configure it, read http://ravisblog.com/gnome-for-linux-server-remote-desktop/ Or if you want me to do it, I can do it for you. Note that this cannot be setup on a VPS. Can be done on a dedicated server only with unmodified kernel.
Installing packages on VPS is no different that installing them in your box. if you are running centos and a simple yum groupinstall would do the trick. however i suggest installing something lighter like XFCE or e17. it would save some ram
We can do on vps # yum groupinstall “X Window System†# yum groupinstall “GNOME Desktop Environment†Code (markup): and just start vnc by # vncserver rt number that u have to configure
