This method is to install xRDP which will allow you to connect to your Linux server via RDP (Like how you connect to a Windows server).

Why go through all the trouble to install VNC and such, when you could easily do the same within these few steps?


Software Needed:
Bitvise SSH Client Download
(Connect to your VPS and execute the below steps)


This is personally verified and confirmed to work on Ubuntu 12.04 64bit.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends ubuntu-desktop
sudo apt-get install xrdp
echo "gnome-session --session=ubuntu-2d" > ~/.xsession
sudo apt-get install gnome-session-fallback

BONUS - How to run Hitleap:
Follow the above steps, and the following -
