Here is what I did (mine is in the attic, two floors up) when I want to
access the gui
Install vncserver
create a batch file in the root of the account I am using (not ROOT!)
that has the following:
vncserver -interface <LANIPOFTHEMACHINE> -geometry 1024x768 -depth 16 :1
save it and make it executable
I also make killvnc.bat with the following, also executable:
vncserver -kill :1
-----------------------------------
I run the machine with no front end, but when I want one, I log in via
SSH and
./vnc
then I stop the ssh connection.
Then using VNC viewer connect to <IPOFTHEMACHINE:5901>
If I want to kill it, I kill the session after I'm done I use ./killvnc,
but usually I leave it running and it's ready for my VNC connection
whenever I want it.

Yeah, I'm not too familiar with the command line for linux so I'm best
going with a graphical shell like VNC can offer.
Open a PuTTY window to your server and an IRC window to one of the Linux
help channels. If you get stuck, ask someone there. Google for IRC and
LUG
(Linux users group) to find IRC channels operated by LUG's.
