Ubuntu Server graphical interface?

[Nicolas Valcarcel]

If they want a GUI one or either way i will suggest to use Openbox, is much
more light and you don't even need to use so many resource and to have a lot
of packages installed on your system, so it will be much more secure, a
little harder to configure and have it up, but more secure and light :D
