LAMP server on Linux 9.10 server

[D-rock]

Hello Guys -

I've been messing around for a few days now trying to figure out what is going on and I feel like I'm making a stupid mistake. Essentially I'm trying to build a LAMP server (PHP) on my Mac Mini using VMWare Fusion 3 using Linux Server 9.10. To start, it's not going well at all. Once I install the LAMP portion after calling it with root permissions, I have no UI. Personally, I need a UI. Am I not understanding this? I figured once I install the LAMP packages and restart the server, there would be a user interface but nothing... Any idea's? Any help would be great!

Links I've gone to:

And a few online

installing LAMP does not give you a UI. you will need to install a desktop.
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
