I installed Ubuntu Server 14.04 LTE, but i want a lightweight GUI, as it makes easier things for me.
How can i do that? Which one do you recommend?
I use Webmin it is a web-based interface for system admin on server. As it is web based you can access and manage you server from your ubuntu Desktop pc's web browser.
You can download and get install instructions from the website.
Hope it helps you as It did for me.
One of the lightweight options around is LXDE - with its official Ubuntu flavour called Lubuntu. So you can do:
sudo apt-get install lxlauncher lxpanel lxappearance lxterminal openbox pcmanfm lxdm
This installs a panel, a window manager (openbox
), a terminal, a file manager, a launcher, and a display manager.
lubuntu-desktop
is also a way to install LXDE, that install most needed applications, themes, etc. However for a server the amount installed may want to be kept to a minimum, so this should work. xubuntu-desktop
can also be used to install XFCE, which has more features but a heavier interface.
