Ubuntu server 10.4 install a GUI
Saturday, August 21st, 2010
Liking Ubuntu more and more so here is a quick tip.
If you want to install server but still have a GUI you can do a minimum install with:
sudo aptitude install –without-recommends ubuntu-desktop
which will give you a GUI with a download of about 180mb against 400+mb with the recommends.
Not hardcode but sometimes it’s easier with a GUI :)
UPDATE Works on 10.10 as well.
UPDATE Works on 11.04 as well.
UPDATE Works on 11.10 but not as well. Doesn’t load Unity very well…. uggg
