Ubuntu Desktop

Ubuntu Desktop build

Ubuntu with XFCE, or Ubuntu Desktop, is a version of the Ubuntu operating system that uses the XFCE desktop environment. XFCE is a lightweight, fast, and user-friendly desktop environment that uses fewer system resources than other environments like GNOME or KDE. It is ideal for systems with less memory or for people who want a quick and simple desktop experience without too many bells and whistles.

Firewall settings

For managing network access, we use UFW (Uncomplicated Firewall). We have configured UFW so that only a specific IP address has access. This means that other computers cannot connect (via RDP).The firewall is configured to:
  • Block all incoming connections by default
  • Allow only connections from your IP address
