Hi I followed your guide and installed the kde desktop and it worked great however is there a way to disable kde from loading on start up? I don’t need the GUI running all the time.
Thanks

You don’t have to do a complete desktop install. When I setup Server 10.10 and I just want a few things I do “apt-get install xinit gdm gnome-terminal synaptic firefox gedit”.
Tony:
You don’t have to bring up the whole KDE. Just hit Ctrl-Alt-F1 to bring yourself to a Linux console.

So after I install the GUI, should I restart before I install and config Webmin? I tried twice (completely new installation) and both times I installed Webmin using a command line, before restarting my computer and allowing the GUI to run, and both times I could not log into Webmin, would this be the reason?
Thanks for the help and the Post!
