Just wanted to know

suggestions are welcome for distro/version, gui and remote desktop access system
would appreciate a link to guide related to installation for the same

Current challenge: would appreciate any tips on configuring the remote desktop on the vps servers and error handling for reasons it is not working.

Thanks

The Going Linux podcast just did a review of some light-weight distros. I'm not necessarily saying that the distros they discussed would necessarily be the ones for you (but LXQT would be worth a look), but I think you would find their approach to the subject helpful.

You might also want to take a look at MX and AntiX.

thanks will go through the results

thanks will check it out
