Graphicall Desktop for Ubuntu Server Edition

If you have installed an Ubuntu Server Edition, the first sing you notice is that you dont have X11, GDM, Gnome or KDE, only a text shell.

Here I'm going to show you howto install the Ubuntu Desktop for the Server Edition.

It's actually quite easy, just type on the bash shell:

$ sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop

Now sit down and wait, for apt-get to download and install about 900 packets / 472 MB.

And that it, next time you reboot you have the same Gnome Desktop that in the Ubuntu Desktop Edition.
