Linux and Putty question

[Trunks]

Yup, that should work.

And I have approximate knowledge about many things (quote from adventure time I believe). I don't consider myself an expert at anything, besides breathing oxygen and eating chocolate.

Thanks, everything seems to be working fine, kinda disappointed that I can't see server logs unless I close the server and open the file, but all well.

One more question, is there a way to change my External IP for just my Server? I tried goggling, but couldn't find anything, or is proxying really the only way?

Give teamviewer a try. It has a lot of different setup methods but they are all pretty easy. I have my server setup with it and it auto logs in when they system starts. Then I can access it from any other computer as long as I have teamviewer there as well. I've been using it for a couple years now. Free and easy. I have used it on linux but it's been awhile. I remember it working just fine.

*edit*
Make sure to change the setting about "lock system at end of remote session" or something to that effect. You want to turn that off.

From what I read about team viewer, it's a lot slower. I'm using Ubuntu server so everything is text based, I don't have a desktop. Already bad enough I'm using a laptop as a server so I'd like to keep my server using the least amount of resources possible.
