You know there is a guide out there to do it easily within 5 mins for a newbie, I have done it numerous times on both Windows & Linux platforms as well as Servers with Daemon Wallets though the problems most have is setting up the .conf file manually and pointing
i gave up trying to get half baked linux wallets working so just use wine for most of them now
im also happy to help hosting wallets and stuff
There is also this if you feel lazy and have a Linux based system or partition and want to compile GUI Wallets automatically
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=498746.0It works out of the box for most SHA-256 & Scrypt coins but might need additional commands & or modifications to the script for some wallets and other coin algorithms.
As long as all dependencies are installed then you shouldn't have problems.
Still that won't help your server side setup since it is all command based with no GUI
Which is always fun for ones noggin
Added note: You can always setup the coin daemon on the linux server, point your home PC coin client to it and wallah, the same goes when running other coin daemon/GUI instances at the same time
