The reason Ubuntu Server doesn't come with a GUI is that it takes up large amounts of system resources, which could often be put to more effective use doing the jobs the server is there for. Furthermore, remote access is much more efficient, and often faster, when it's a command-line over SSH than when it's a full-fledged GUI. If you desire a GUI on Ubunt Server, it's a simple "sudo aptitude install" away - suggested packages are ubuntu-desktop, which gives you GNOME and a lot of other stuff; gnome, which give you, well, GNOME; or kde and/or it's associate, kubuntu-desktop if that's what you prefer.
That said, a GUI frontend to certain server administration tools that could automate an SSH connection so that you only have to run it on the machine you're using and can connect it to the server might be nice for some users. -- ubuntu server needs x11/gui desktop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/630049 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
