 Yes, the "server" install has no GUI components. It is a "bare bones"
install on which to build what the user/administrator wants to include.

Try this:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop   

(all on one line from the prompt )

That should install the Gnome desktop and all the default Ubuntu programs,
assuming your apt-get sources were configured during the install, which I
think they would have been.
