Installing GUI on Ubuntu

  • 772

I have installed a Ubuntu Server and executed the command sudo command to install the ubuntu-desktop. Now when I log in I get a graphical prompt for my password but after I login it seems to take alot of time. I have heard that something call GNOME is faster. How do I install it. Again I apologize but I am relatively new to Ubuntu but not Linux. Thank you.
