[doctorknockers204]

I don't really understand what you mean by "won't let me type a password"...but I'm not really the person to ask.

Hmm...maybe I'll give fedora server a try on VMware, because I honestly don't need a web server. I was just having fun that day.

try "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop"

[doctorknockers204]

Hmm...that's what people on Ubuntu forums said to do. I didn't have enough disk space allocated so the gui didn't get installed. I later re-partitioned my hard drive to allocate more space for this OS, and I still failed.

@MrUrbanExplorer

thats what I did

The original plan was to go Ubuntu Server but I didn't feel that I knew the terminal well enough to operately completely from it

so I just went Xubuntu

Its a home server so performance isn't really a big deal and it works wondeful to me

It basically just holds and distribute data

and also serves as my way of bypassing school security through use of vnc

ahh who needs a GUI - you can use the server remotely with SSH. I am running one in a cardboard box. only 2 cables needed: power and LAN. and i can do everything. that, people, is awesome.

Anyone with basic Linux experience knows that Ubuntu is one of the most userfriendy Linux distributions, except noobs like you don't seem to gte that hehe

You are still typing a password even though no letters, numbers , or symbols appear when you type it. It is designed this way so that no one can even guess at the length of your password if they see you type it and use that to try to figure it out. Just try your password and then hit enter. Trust me, it works.

you can run apache on it.

Anyone who wants to use ubuntu server edition as a server will run this on the internet, and It isn't better than apache, apache is a service that comes with ubuntu server edition.
