Hello again,
In this thread I'll be explaining and showing commands on how to install X2GoServer, it is much easier than VNC (in my opinion) and very easy to use.
It takes some time to install because the packages are a little big.
What is VNC ?
> In computing, Virtual Network Computing (VNC) is a graphical desktop sharing system that uses the Remote Frame Buffer protocol (RFB) to remotely control another computer.
> Mainly,X2GO server is used for running a custom linux desktop with a flavour of windows software applications using "wine" by connecting client to server (using x2go client).
Requirement :

First of all, login with PuTTY on your Debian(wheezy) VPS.
After you have done this just copy and paste the following code into PuTTY:
After you have done this, go to /etc/apt/sources.list (with WinSCP or FileZilla or any other which supports SFTP, you can also do this via PuTTY but it's harder for 'newbies')
Add at the end of the file the flowing and save it!
Then re-do the first/second step:
Then simply install x2goserver with the following code:
Now we need a sort of desktop, you can install GNOME but for low RAM VPSs it's not recommend so I'll use lxde.
After this all the server side stuff is done now lets get the software to connect to the server!
Go to http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/download:start and downlaod the X2Go Client, if you are using Windows click on mswin or if you are using Mac OS click on macosx.
> Downlaod and install the software.
> Open the client and follow the instructions.
> Fill the details it will ask and you are done.
