@muhammad517 After that, do something awesome like run a minecraft server or host a web site or an ftp site!

@tjrieves And Mint is even more "prettified" Linux. Don't you know that Mint is Ubuntu with a few non-free packages installed? You're still using Ubuntu.

@dmntr "but if you need a real GUI you should stop everything because you fail."

@tjrieves That that happend to you doesn't mean Ubuntu is a bad OS... :P I have it running perfectly fine on my laptop. Could be that some hardware or something isn't supporting, but that has more to do with manufacturers not supporting Linux than with the OS it self.

@muhammad517 Yes, Ubuntu Server comes only with a command line interface by default. You can find some tutorials to learn how to work with it, but you can also install a graphical user interface. Obviously, this will take up some extra RAM and stuff, but you can do it with this command:
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
This will instal the GNOME Desktop environment for you. :)
usually you manage the server over ssh or web based with webmin, but if you need a real GUI just install one of the desktop packages from command line:
ubuntu-desktop for gnome
kubuntu-desktop for kde
xubuntu-desktop for xfce
