This comes at a time when, as a Linux newbie, I am curious about exploring the range of various Linux distros and GUIs out there. Would this be a nice tool to see the differences in the windowing interface of various Linux distros and learning more about navigating Linux through X windows, KDE, Gnome, etc, vs just using a command line?
- Shengbo 10y agoThese are servers, so you most likely won't get a GUI.
- SOLAR_FIELDS 10y agoCould definitely set up some script that goes and sets up a gui from a package repository - but the other comment is right, virtualbox is way better for this kind of thing.

I prefer x2go since it runs over ssh and supports ssh-key authentication by default.
