Where to start on GUI'ed mini webserver.

[Daemonarc]

Hi Guys,

New (potential) user, glad to be here.

I'm basically just looking to create a LAMP server that allows me to log-on to it by remote and start up a graphical editor (like Kate) for editing PHP files and develop sites, but it's a bit hard to figure out exactly what I need for this regarding hardware specs. Don't want it to be too slow in operation, but don't want it to be too expensive in power either. Any pointers on what an ideal set-up might be for me? It doesn't have to run KDE or Gnome, but I do need a decent graphical editor for my PHP work.

Thx for reading.

You're much better off just using the file system by remote with something like sshfs.

Thx for the suggestion, but I need it to work, so that I can easily use anything from Windows, Linux, MAC and Linux LiveCD's to connect and get the job done. I need to get around depending on being able to install anything on a given PC to the widest possible extent.

Well, considering that Windows would require a VNC or X11 client (which is not standard) you're screwing the pooch there anyways. Consider using something like Cloud9ide (such as a local install of c9.io)

I don't know if it's good enough for graphical editing, but I have xrdp and xfce desktop running on the plugs so others can use Windows remote dekstop to connect to the plugs and do files management, USB safely eject, and shutdown,... (Windows PCs have built-in remote desktop).

Cloud9 looks like an excellent option, will look more into that.

XFCE and XRDP on the Pogoplug also sounds nice, I just need to be able to run something like GEdit by remote and I'm fine.

Thanks. There seems to be no xrdp package in ARM repos, and a variety of related to xfce packages. Which one of these to install, and where to get xrdp from (without compiling it for Archlinux ARM 3.5.2)?

Don't know the answer I'd suggest you look in Arch Linux ARM wiki.
