Menambahkan tampilan GUI minimal ke Ubuntu Server

Seorang administrator jaringan khususnya yang menangani server seperti server dengan menggunakan linux. Pasti ada kalanya bosan kalo melihat layar monitor yang item putih tok. Untuk itu boleh dunk seorang administrator menambahkan sedikit GUI setidaknya hanya untuk browsing cari-cari info di internet.

Ayo kita mulai...!

1. login dengan account root Anda atau login dengan user biasa, lalu ketikkan sudo -i, akan muncul prompt isian password, masukkan password user biasa Anda
2. Sekarang kita update dulu daftar paket yang ada di cache apt kita dengan: apt-get update
3. Untuk membuat GUI yang minimal dan bisa untuk browsing kita cukup mengetikkan: apt-get install xorg firefox
4. Akan muncul daftar paket yang akan didownload, seperti:
   

   root@stm:~# apt-get install xorg firefox

5. Ketikkan Y lalu enter untuk mulai mendownload paket-paket tersebut
6. Bila sudah selesai semua proses download dan install, cukup ketikkan: startx pada console
7. Akan muncul tampilan gui minimalis yang seperti hanya sebuah frame, nah frame kecil itulah console linux kita
8. Untuk menjalankan firefox, cukup kita ketikkan: firefox pada console yang ada di dalam frame itu.
9. Tetapi jangan kaget karena firefox muncul tanpa adanya window (tidak ada tombol minimize, maximize, close), karena proses download dan install tadi belum menyertakan window manager seperti icewm atau fluxbox
10. Untuk menginstall icewm atau fluxbox mungkin lain hari akan saya bahas

Thanks....
