linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – Hello Pls correct me if i put the topic in a wrong place. I run Ubuntu on a desktop and ubuntu server as a homeNAS. Want to monitor the hardware on a desktop real-time. Lm-sensors on the server working good, but it's not too comfortable to login and monitor through SSH. Guess, i'm talking about something like: make lm-sensors of the server to share data with the, say, psensor of the desktop PC. Is there any way to do that? Thank you. (Hardware)

What is the best way to have a server and a desktop OS on one machine, with the desktop being displayed on a monitor directly connected?

Visualization, with each having a separate guest, seems ideal (security and ease of admin), but it doesn't seem possible to have the desktop OS displayed on a monitor connected to the box. I can't figure it out with KVM anyway.

I moved to Ubuntu on my local machines at home. I have 1 desktop computer with no monitor,mouse or keyboard attached, and two laptops. The idea is to run the heavy tasks (compilation, long downloads etc.) on the "server" (the desktop) and control it by the laptops.

I have open SSH on the desktop. I have no problem connecting by SSH to the desktop.

I tried two methods of remote controll

No matter how much you change your desktop background image and switch distro themes, staring at the same computer's screen day in and day out can become humdrum. Conky can be used to decorate the desktop in endless ways and provide a stream of useful system monitors in the process. Conky is a system monitor that is sometimes part of the default desktop display in Linux distros.

I have a few questions first, but let me explain my needs first.

Harder stuff 4) VPN to the server 5) Zero down time

The questions: 1) Ha

Disclaimer: I have played around with Ubuntu Desktop in the past, but am still very unfamiliar with the whole Linux scene. So with that out of the way... :redface:

A tidbit of background of my situation: I recently inherited an older PC that I have decided to use as a home server. Up until today I was using Windows XP Home on it for a simple Teamspeak & Minecraft server.
