Thanks, I am a total newbie to Linux. Last night I just setup and configured my first successful file server. Its my first Linux install that allows me to do more than just surf the web.
Command line instructions are probably all I need but I am curious if Gnome will operate thru SSH. While I find the graphical interface more pleasant than CLI, I have used and am not opposed to using the command line. I have two ideas for this in mind. One is to setup my server on a shelf under my desk out of the way and my Linux learning computer can go on the shelf above the desk with a monitor. My other idea is to setup a server at an office and be able to monitor, update, reconfigure, or backup the system from over the internet. I wouldn't mind being able to setup the users too, but since I don't have that same access to the workstations I would have to be present anyway, might as well get paid for it.

If you're running linux now and familiar with linux, by SSH-ing to the server, you will have all the comand-line control of the server from wherver you're now. If you're familiar with telnet, then SSH is a secure version of telnet. Provided the ssh server (sshd) is setup on the server, all you need to do (from console): $> ssh remoteserver.domain.com -l username and then enter your password. If ssh server is not setup on your remote server, then go look and the redhat manual / customization guide on how to set up SSH server. All the RPM needed is included in the distribution (openssh*), and if you're should be installed by default. If you don't know what SSH or Telnet is, probably you should look into reading for basic linux administration book. It is one of the most basic thing you need to know.
