Because I’ve got ample resources (memory, storage, processor, etc.), I won’t need to eke out extra performance and RAM use just yet. I chose to install the desktop version over the completed version of the server install I had already completed. There are going to be a couple of ways to install Ubuntu Desktop 16.04.1. The first part of this post will explain the installation of the Server version, and the second (shorter) part will show the commands needed to install the desktop version. If you just need the server version, feel free to stop there.
