Question #76924 on Ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/76924

    Status: Open => Answered

actionparsnip proposed the following answer:
Servers do not need GUI. Thats why they are servers. If you want a
desktop then install the desktop system.

The server iso does not come with an x server as it is a security rish
(more services running) and also takes up resources.

You can configure the entirety of a server via ssh which is much more
secure and lighter on the network. You can also instate web interfaces
for other things (CUPS uses a web interface by default
http://servername:631)
