Today I’m focusing on setting up a new VPS at Slicehost. BTW, I’m assuming you’re new to Linux. Lets get started.I’m assuming you got an email from Slicehost with the url to manage your new vps. Grab your uid and pwd they sent you and log into your new vps here. Once you’ve logged in, click on the link that lets you create your new slice. Create a new name for your slice and select Ubuntu Dapper for the distribution. It should take only a couple of minutes before your new vps is setup. Once its done grab the new password Slicehost will show you after your slice has been created and open a command prompt (Terminal or iTerm on Mac OSX, Putty on PC). Note that you should not type in the line numbers below in the code snippets. They are for reference only.Let’s login (you’ll be prompted for your pwd so have it handy):
- ssh -l your_username your_ip_address
