+In this step, you will install and configure a desktop environment on your Ubuntu server. By default, an Ubuntu server comes with a terminal environment only. A desktop environment will need to be installed to access a user interface.

+	How to use xRDP for remote access to Ubuntu 14.04
+• Linux
+To remotely control my Windows machines, I always prefer to use RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) as it performs much nicer than VNC (Virtual Network Computing). VNC has this streak of “JPEG” quality and slow behavior, whereas RDP is fast and crystal clear.
+RDP is however a proprietary protocol from Microsoft. So how can we use RDP to control our Ubuntu box remotely?
+This is where xRDP comes in play, an open source remote desktop protocol (RDP) server. It actually runs VNC protocol over RDP as far as I understand, yet if behaves much better than VNC by itself (possibly because of the used desktop manager). Since Ubuntu 12.10 (if I’m not mistaken), xRDP doesn’t seem to work with the Ubuntu desktop anymore … unless you use an alternative desktop manager. This seems related to 3D acceleration and nobody seems to care (since 2011, according to bug reports).
+Note : if you really need Copy/Paste functionality between the two machines, then please use Ubuntu’s default installed “Desktop Sharing” instead (MacOS X users read this forum post).

-     You have to install ubuntu-restricted-extras, not just download them (except if with the "i have downloaded the ubuntu restricted extras" you meant that you installed too). From terminal (CTRL+ALT+T) run sudo apt-get install -y ubuntu-restricted-extras stay there until installation completes, when it asks you for the MS fonts EULA, hit ENTER(key) to confirm. –  NikTh Aug 12 '13 at 19:00

-    Basically, since Firefox 24 you no longer need flash in Linux to watch Youtube. However, not many people have realised that yet. There has been very little publicity about this major positive change.
