Sorry im a newb at this. I dont know how to find my bitcoin directory.

Serious advice: stay away from bitcoins, servers connected to the internet, and computers in general.  Shocked
The "I don't know shit but I want to do it anyway" attitude will most likely cost you dearly.
If you want to use a linux server for anything remotely valuable you absolutely need to know what you're doing. If you don't know it already, now is the right time to start learning - read tutorials on using commandline tools such as nano or vim, learn how to reduce the services on a computer to the absolute minimum needed for it to work, learn how to harden ssh access etc.

BTW, using graphical tools with a server on the internet isn't that hard if your desktop machine also runs linux. Call ssh with the '-X' parameter and then you can use graphical programs such as gedit or kate. Performance is quite a bit slower than when you use them locally, but still bearable.

My command line skills are limited but it's something like:
Code:
nano ~/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf

This will open the file for editing or create it and open it for editing if it doesn't exist.  This will happen in your terminal window (not GUI). Change the path if your bitcoin data is elsewhere.

It's just a text file, so whatever text editing options are available to you should do the trick.

im not using ubuntu desktop. im using ubuntu server and ssh :/

i think you should stick with windows servers
