OK - I'm not understanding you very well, so bear with me.


Before you ask I have made 2 command line install entries (cannot re-create)
but would like to un-install.


I read this as you installed Ubuntu twice using a CD and got only a commandline.

What do you want to 'uninstall' ? Ubuntu? Just write over it.
If you want back to the operating system you had there before you
installed Ubuntu twice, that's not possible.

1st concern goggling led me to believe my ubuntu did not have to be a server
edition true or false.

There isn't a reason to run the server edition for most people.

That being said, the vast majority of the software is identical
between the server and desktop versions. Either will work as a
desktop or a server.

2nd concern goggling led me to believe terminal was the only install
visualization way and iso and burn CD was not a possibility, True or false.

I can't make that sentence make sense to me.

If you are asking can you get virtualization working on a regular
Ubuntu desktop with a graphical interface, then the answer is yes.

If you are asking can you burn a CD from the server edition then the
answer is yes.

If you are asking can I install the regular Ubuntu in a virtual
machine then that answer is yes too.

If you have installed the server version and wish you had a graphical
interface like the regular desktop version, then just type 'sudo
aptitude install ubuntu-desktop' and it will install the extra stuff.

Any detailed steps and resources greatly appreciated.

Allen, I think we need some more background here.

What are you trying to do exactly? And what have you done so far?
Then we can give a better answer.

Brian
