Minimum install / server with GUI?

[Arceon]

Hi all,

If i install using the ubuntu server disk, and use a command to add the xfce desktop environment (what is the command for that by the way? :p), will it add all the default software packages as well (thunderbird, mozilla etc)?

Cheers,

Arc

This will give you Xfce plus all of the Xubuntu applications:


sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop

This will give you just the core Xfce environment:


sudo apt-get install xfce4

Brilliant, cheers snowpine

Stupid question, but will the xfce4 install give all the "Settings" icons etc?

Here is a list of exactly what the package includes: http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/xfce4

It will give you a very minimal (but functional) Xfce desktop.

Sorry I can't be more help, but I am not actually an Xfce user myself. :)
