You just said two things that seem to contradict each other. You said you n= eed to get X going to get the UPS set up, but earlier you said you don't have X installed on the server? Why would you need X to "properly upgrade things?" The upgrading of both the OS and ports works primarily with command-line tools. Do you realize that y= ou can make more than one ssh connection to a server in case you want e.g. one she= ll to make run programs in and another to keep an eye on things. If you don't have X set up on the server, you should use ssh (or telnet if = you have a trusted network). If you do have X set up on the server, you can use the net/vnc port to view the server's X11 screen on another machine. And ssh can also do X forwarding.
