Tips to add a Desktop to Ubuntu server

This will install everything, needs 2.1 GB of space

• sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
  (the bare version is called gnome-desktop and uses 500 MB) (can take up to 1 hour)
• sudo apt-get install gdm
• sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
• sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
• you may need to provide the screen resolution 800x600

Testing only:

Leaving the server alone, I'm trying first install Perl then Webmin from my Windows PC.
