Ubuntu server to desktop...
Hi :)
Well, i'm a newbie to Linux and last night i decided to install Ubuntu.
By mistake i installed 'ubuntu server' instead of 'ubuntu desktop' (it's on my laptop, a windows machine, i was quite proud of myself for succeeding without destroying any data, until i realized that i have only the server and i have no idea of what to do next)...
So, the bottom line question is: How do i convert ubuntu server to ubuntu desktop? The easiest way, please :D
Thanks

Hi vukotic,
It should be fine. Once you have your partition for Ubuntu, just make sure that you install into that partition. Shouldn't be much problem.

login into server
then type:
sudo apt-get install edubuntu-desktop
Then after a while when it finished, restart, and you are done
you wont get the original ubuntu but edubuntu is also very nice.
