¿How to start the Ubuntu OS?

valkiria113

Very good day to all, I write for the following question, I just bought a Linux vps, I already installed the ubuntu 16.04 OS, but when I give the option "Connect via SSH" a console appears, I put the name of root user and his password .. But after there I don't know what to do. In summary, I want to start using the OS and I can't find the way, the only thing I see on the screen is the console. I hope they can help you, I hope your answers, thanks

in general, the Linux OS are managed via SSH (Command line), which means when you connect to the server via SSH, you need to enter the specific commands and install/manage your server the way you want. If you are not sure on how to use the SSH, you may want to consider reinstalling the server and choosing some OS template that has either Remote Desktop or a control panel vith a graphic interface, which will most likely be easier.

Hello,

It sounds like you've successfully connected to your VPS via SSH, which is great. You can access your Ubuntu 16.04 operating system using the console. From here, you can begin configuring your server, installing software, and managing your system.

To get you started, you'll want to ensure that your SSH setup is secure. You can find a comprehensive guide on enabling and securing SSH for Ubuntu here. This guide walks you through checking if SSH is installed, updating package lists, and installing OpenSSH.

Once SSH is properly configured, you can start using your server for various tasks such as setting up a web server, database, or any other service you need. Remember, keeping your server secure is crucial, so take advantage of the configuration tips provided in the guide.
