I purchased a VPS and have permission to use it to mine.

I'm just wondering if there's a guide out there that shows how to begin mining from a VPS terminal. I'm logged in via Putty.
I know I can simply install a desktop and mine, but would rather not. The desktop requires a minimum of 300mb ram. I'd rather put that processing power to good use.

If anyone has experience with this or knows how to do this, I would appreciate any help!

Thanks!

look for a miner that works on linux then I use would the command
Code:
screen
to make sure when you logout of ssh the process still runs, and you can log back in with
Code:
screen
to see everything that was output during the screen session while you were gone
