Hi there, So disclaimer first... Ubuntu Server does not contain an X interface, for various reasons, mainly performance and security. That said, a number of people have suggested several alternatives, all of which are trivial to install. I haven't seen anyone yet mention "fluxbox". It, too, is a very minimal approach to a gui desktop. I've used it in several places where I have very tight space restrictions (ie, where the root disk = 512M flash card). It does, however, reside in Universe.
