that's worrying. All my 'buntu boxes have come with ssh enabled, including my VPS boxes and dedicated seedboxes, plus the ones I install for my employer.

I don't use 'buntu workstation though, so its possible it differs there.  given how many of my systems are headless and/or in another city (or country!) I would be lost without it.

one thing that *is* nice is to run up a copy of tightvncserver inside the ufw, connect to it over a compressed tunnel, and have a full xwin desktop on a headless server :)

My Ubuntus are just test systems here, not production.  I have all kinds of junk on them including Gnome for GUI.  Mostly for PHP/MySQL sites.
Ah well. For my (many and varied :) sins, I have been lumbered with the task of standing up a distributed nagios based monitoring solution across around 60 sites - so I have now an entire flock of penguins, all alike....

No wonder my linkedin profile strapline is JOAT and Penguin Farmer :)
