Installing a lightweight LXDE+VNC desktop environment on your Ubuntu/Debian VPS

Found some great instructions for putting a lightweight desktop environment on your (Lowend) VPS or server. Uses no more then like 40mb RAM tops, but can be tweaked to only 10-20mb I think.

Config Clipboard

sudo apt-get install autocutsel

add `autocutsel -fork` to $HOME/.vnc/xstartup

like this:

#!/bin/bash
xrdb $HOME/.Xresources  
autocutsel -fork  
startxfce4 &  

and restart vncserver

You then connect using the VNC viewer of your choice on your local computer. I use the "VNC Free Edition Viewer for Windows Stand-Alone Viewer" at: http://www.realvnc.com Configure the viewer to access your VPS at: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:5901. Original credits go to LongShot @ LET.com
