A GUI desktop for what? I've never installed a Linux server with a GUI.
But you can certainly do it. I'm sure there's a metapackage or something that will pull in all the requirements.
This is not to manage or work on the server, I use terminal and web-based UIs for all of that.
This to host a desktop I can use remotely. Sometimes using my local desktop isn't what I want to do; I might be running a lower power machine, or want to do something I can't on the machine I'm actually using. Or I might want to use a remote Linux desktop from a Windows machine. Sometimes the other way around.
