As a matter of fact you can ! Both for palm powered devices AND for windows cellphones there is the possibility of installing an SSH Client. (sort of a putty for mobile phones) We'll cover how to hook everthing up to the net in one of the later episodes and then you can control your server with your mobile phone. I do that to my server every week .. pretty cool.

Is it possible to remote control that server via your 3G mobile phone?

I mean not just HTML based but also remote desktop. I have heard such a thing it possible via Windows Mobile phones, but for linux?

Once again great show. Besides the audioquality is way better now did you get a new mic?

Great Show again, Knightwise. I wish I had a tutorial like this the first time I tried to install Red Hat 6 back in the ol' days. :P Of course... I wish I had a pre-packaged Ubuntu LAMP server back then too... Anyways, I digress.

I was going to offer a tip on a great ISO burning tool for Windows. It's a super-lightweight shell extension called [url=http:// isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/ isorecorder.htm]ISO Recorder[/url], by Alex Feinman. This Windows extension is the best way to image a disk from an ISO. Right-click & Write ISO to disk. The first thing I install on a new Windows machine.
