Setting up a server

[denbertuz]

Yes, this is possible. Do you want the server to run in a window after you log in to the desktop? or do you want it to keep running in the background regardless of whether you've logged in to the desktop or not? The second approach is more automatic; if the PI reboots, the server reboots. The first approach requires you to log in to the desktop before the server starts running, but it has a window, allowing you to input commands and such.

I'm a huge fan of headless debian, hence I prefer the "correct" second solution
