Ubuntu Server installation


Does Ubuntu Server 11.04 installation come with a GUI interface? I thought I downloaded the server DVD iso, but now when I run it, it's getting stuck at the "For best results please ensure that this computer has" screen after I specified to download updates. Mouse pointer is spinning.

Have you installed to something with minimal configuration? If so you'll have to wait.
IIRC: Ubuntu server does not have a gui.

I rebooted and restarted the installation without doing updates.

Seems like Ubuntu, at least 11.04 has a GUI based installer.
