Also if you do install the desktop and use th GUI to start with you may find it easier to set things up, especially coming ( I'm guessing here ) from a Windows world. I think that one problem running a GUI on a server is the RAM it hogs. But for light use it shouldn't be a problem and you could, in any case set it up to boot without the GUI starting up later if you wanted. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ubuntu Linux" group.
