Hi Robert,
Normally, you don't want a GUI on a GNU/Linux VPS :)
But if you really do, you can not just install it like you did. What you
got after installing ubuntu-desktop is a GUI waiting for someone to plug
in a display to the local display port.
To get a remote connection to the desktop, you would need to install a
vnc server: http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/VNC
If you only want to configure and run an exit relay, there should be no
need to use a GUI. I am not using ubuntu, but i think you would have to
do something like:
- apt-get install tor
- cd /etc/tor
- edit torrc file
- /etc/init.d/tor start
You also can use apt-cache to search for a packet. I.e.: "apt-cache
search tor".
There are some howto's on the torproject.org website:

Regards, Sven.
