Q. I have an older computer running ubuntu linux desktop edition. I also have Samba File and Printer Sharing and Web Servers installed. I have WebMin installed. Everything seems to be working. I want a way to control my server using a GUI and the Xwindows system on my PC. So basicly I want to see my Linux server on my windows PC(s).
A. you want to setup a program called tightvnc server, then on your windows pc you can use a small app called vncviewer. its small and fairly simple
Here is a pretty good howto on setting up the server end.

How do I share files on my server?
Q. I have an Ubuntu server and I want to share some of its files with my Windows AND LINUX desktops. I have heard that you can use Samba to share files with Windows, but will I be able to access the files throught Samba on a Linux desktop? Thanks.
A. sudo apt-get install samba
then edit /etc/samba/smb.conf
At the bottom it will have some sample shares. These will show up as the shared folders.
ex>
security = share
[Applications]
path=/home/offensivetech/apps/
guest only = yes
read only = yes
browseable = yes
This would put an "Applications" folder to show up when you go to
\\servername
Make sure to reload the samba config whenever making changes to the configuration file.
sudo /etc/init.d/samba reload
(might be sudo /etc/init.d/smb reload , can't remember).

How can i display a shortcut on my desktop the way mac does?
Q. I want the desktop to display an icon whenever i add a hard drive on my pc. I don't want to create shortcuts of my hard drives on my desktop.
Is there a theme that enables this function or some kind of software?
