Have you even looked at how much bandwidth RDP uses compared to SSH? I can have 7 or 8 ssh connections open and monitoring files where windows can't get one remote connection working properly. As for installing, Debian/Ubuntu can't get any easier. apt-get install <package> And if you need the very latest nginx? wget <url> tar -xzvf <tar.gz file> cd <folder> ./configure make make install Even better, you can script this with bash with little effort. (Complex scripting can be more difficult but that's not what we are doing here)
