How do you install a Gui, small and fast, with Ubuntu server?
It can make a slipstreaming with the Ubuntu cdrom adding a Gui?

Here's hoping this is not Sidney related troll.
It does look like a loser troll trying to bait me.
(We've got a ranter
lately who gets pretty perturbed about using GUI's, and he cross-posts
a lot, so the flaming tends to continue from various other newsgroups
as well.)
The defenders of the corporate-sponsored Windows-clone
interfaces, the GDEs (Graphical Desktops Environments) like
this fellow are so desperate to suppress any criticism of these
poisonous invaders that they are even willing to lie about
the critics.
Nico knows perfectly well that I have no problem with the Linux GUI
at all, that I in fact use one and am using one right now.
My problem is with the massive suites of graphical applications
like KDE and Gnome that run _in_ the GUI and divorce the Linux
user from the basic operating system.
The word "GUI" applies to a whole lot of different tools: Firefox has
a GUI,
No. Firefox is a graphical application that runs in a GUI. The GUI
consists of a simple window manager, and a mouse (etc.).
GUI means "Graphical User Interface". They've been around for about
40 years.
GDEs are a much newer development. KDE was started in 1996.
Again, this obvious fact: The GDEs run _in_ a GUI.
These links and this basic information have been posted here
many times.

You are trying to deliberately misinform the public on these
matters, which is downright appalling.
But I expect nothing else from a corrupt corporate drone like
you.
You are as trustworthy as M$, and this is no coincidence.

John Hasler is about 10X as credible and skilled as this lying
Nico technocrat. (Or should I say _wannabee_ technocrat. He
obviously can't cut it in the technocrat's world or he wouldn't
be trolling people who are trying to make his selfish dreams
impossible to fulfill with Linux.)
