How can I manage my server remotely?

Depending upon your choice of operating system, for Linux and BSD based operating systems without an X window manager, SSH (like telnet but secure) is widely used. Alternatively, if you use an X window manager such as KDE or gnome, a combination of SSH and VNC or other remote control software can be used. For Microsoft Windows servers, Remote Desktop (Terminal Services) is built into the operating system; this will give you remote control over the desktop. There are other options for windows, including VNC, Pc Anywhere, and many other remote control applications.
