Hello,
Where do I find this part of Ubuntu, is it on the normal Ubuntu disk? Then how
do I install it to run on the server?
Thanks
Nathan

Hi,
Ubuntu server doesn't come with a desktop environment if that's what you're
thinking of. Generally, the desktop environments add over-head, so without it
it's a lot faster and frees up ram. Once it's booted, just hit enter and it'll
ask for your username and password. If you want to install a desktop
environment, there's 3 meta-packages for Gnome, KDE, and XFCE.
for Gnome (Ubuntu) type:
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
for KDE (Kubuntu) type:
sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
for XFCE (Xubuntu) type:
sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
If you're after the "normal Ubuntu", go with the first one. Depending on your
network card, you might have to configure it/connect manually, because the
desktop environments usually handle this. Hope this helps.

Hi all,
I'm just setting up a Ubuntu server for the first time and am having some
trouble (I think). Does Ubuntu have a desktop manager for the system, something
that looks like normal Ubuntu? If so, how do I get to it. I can get as far as
putting my login info into a black and white screen.
All suggestions welcome, even if it means reinstalling it.
Thanks,
Nathan
