# apt-get install ubuntu-desktop

Will get you a normal ubuntu desktop. You can also install
xubuntu-desktop or kubuntu-desktop (they can coexist).


If you're wanting a server, I'd use tasksel:

#tasksel

Basically, it offers a list of tasks, you check the ones you want and
it downloads and installs the packages you need.

You obviously missed Avi's msg relating to tasksel.

In the meantime, I'd recommend you start here:
