How to install a Desktop & Webmin on Ubuntu 10.04 Server

How to install a Desktop & Webmin on Ubuntu 10.04 Server

I am new to Ubuntu. Naturally as an IT guy I opted for running the server platform. Not having a lot of experience with the Unix command line since college  I wanted to find a way to manage my new LAMP install with some form of GUI. After stumbling around the net for a while I discovered there are several posts and lots of different instructions with pre-requisites surrounding this topic. So I compiled the most stright forward install path to my knowledge. 

Login to your Ubuntu server 10.4 and update your server distribution sources.

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get dist-upgrade

Now as a beginner I prefer a desktop environment for things like file editing and browsing the file system. Here are some choices

Xfce (Least resource intensive desktop):
sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop

Gnome (Ubuntu Default Desktop):
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop

Gnome Minimal (No apps or Openoffice):
sudo apt-get install –no-install-recommends ubuntu-desktop

KDE:
sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop

These options will take a long time, however, once complete you will need to restart your system

sudo shutdown now

To start the desktop login and enter command

startx

You now have Ubuntu server running in a desktop GUI

Now we are ready to install Webmin to manage Apache, MySQL, and PHP

Open a terminal

wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/webadmin/webmin/1.510/webmin_1.510-2_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i webmin_1.510-2_all.deb

If you encounter any errors do the following

sudo apt-get install -f

Congratulations. Ubuntu Server 10.4 with Webmin is now installed and available at:

http://hostname:10000/

Thank you!
