If you want the desktop, I would (I did) install the Desktop version from the Live CD and add the servers afterwards. Since it's just 'in-house' on my LAN, there are no security issues and it works fine.

You wouldn't need a GUI to install mono. Also normally you would access servers remotely via SSH. You can run most GUI based apps from remote PC's without having to start a full GUI on the server itself.

How did you install gnome 3
I did that but got gnome-shell package gnome-shell is not available, but is refereed to by another package. this may mean that the package is missing, has been obseleted, or is only available from another source
Startx wasn't installed I had to install it sudo apt-get install xinit now it starts but fails to get in thinking of re-installing at the moment or going back to 10.04
