Newbie to stack overflow and am experimenting with running an X Server so my colleagues and I can access our Linux GUI applications from windows machines.
I know all about XMing and other utils but my question isn't on the MS Windows side, it's on the Linux host machine. You see right now the linux boxes all have GUI's installed (CentOS and Ubuntu) with the configs to access via Xming or any other SSH X forwarding client.
My question is can I just setup the server to run the x system in the background without having to install a GUI? Did some research and can't really figure it out as I'm not an X Windows guru.
Thanks for everyone's help.

There is no need to have a full X server running or installed on the same system that is running X clients; only the libraries required for implementation of the protocol are required, and the system's package manager will handle installing those.

I have a windows computer and connect to Linux on a remote server for my experiments. I want to use an easy interface software from windows to my Linux server (ubuntu 18.04). Can you give some tips on how to increase productivity in such a workflow?
Putty is fast, but AFAIK, does not support tabs, you will have to open different windows for different tasks, unless you use a terminal multiplexer like screen.
Try Mobaxterm and see if you like it. It is free, and supports multiple tabs, very handy for a single session.

I have an Ubunutu 14.04 LTS Server (64-bit) installed on a Cloud Server. As of right now it is a fresh install with no GUI, simply the console.
I want to know if it is possible to set up this server with a minified Unity desktop environment which I can then remote connect into from another computer. I understand the added security risk and etc with installing a GUI on a server.
Any guidance or help would be appreciated
I have searched the web and only found a few forums going over the XFCE environment. Even those were a little unclear. I am not necessarily against the XFCE environment as long as I can install it correctly. So any help there as well would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I would just like to be able to have my own linux command line on Windows 7. I do have Putty installed but I have no idea how to access a simple linux command line. I just basically need the basic commands that any Linux OPERATING SYSTEM has.
Install Cygwin (https://www.cygwin.com). Cygwin is a Unix-like environment and command-line interface for Microsoft Windows. Cygwin provides native integration of Windows-based applications, data, and other system resources with applications, software tools, and data of the Unix-like environment.

By default I have Windows-8 installed on my machine, and I have installed Linux Ubuntu alongside Windows-8, Now on every start of a machine a grub menu appears where I can choose which OS to open (Windows-8/Linux-Ubuntu).
Now I want to install Linux-Kali on my machine alongside Windows-8 and Linux-Ubuntu.
Without touching Windows-8 and Linux-Ubuntu I want to install Linux-Kali, Because I have already installed many softwares in Windows-8 and Linux-Ubuntu.
Install virtual box https://www.virtualbox.org/ and you can install any other OS as guest.
You can copy to any machine you are interested, and you can run both the windows and linux at the same time.

I come from a Windows background and have been using Remote Desktop to view a remote server's desktop on my local machine. Remote desktop is probably the most popular tool for doing this because it's already part of the OS. Is there a similar tool for Windows but for accessing a Linux machine instead?
Try VNC. It works on Mac and Linux. You need to be running the server portion on the Linux host.
Take a look at xrdp. According to project description you can even use your native Windows client to access Linux desktop:
The goal of this project is to provide a fully functional Linux
terminal server, capable of accepting connections from rdesktop,
freerdp, and Microsoft's own terminal server / remote desktop clients.
try TeamViewer you can download it from
