that is quite true but I was thinking that it would be easier to install plugins if you had a gui. you could install plugins using wget but i would find it easier to do with gui.

How is it easier to install plugins with a GUI?
You, literally, just wget the plugin into the plugins folder and, then, unzip if needed.
Occasionally, there'll be a config file that you'll have to edit, so just use vi/vim or nano.

because you can use firefox and you can run more than one app at a time. I find that it is easier to use

i hope you have a ton of money to get a server with enough power to run a gui a long with a minecraft server.

Yes, when your VPS has like 4GB of RAM.

Even then, I wouldn't waste any of it on a GUI.

It seems that you really wanted to run GUI/Window Manager, fine...
but ours are just opinions and suggestions that running those together will hinder the performance of your game server. Not unless you got a powerful/high-end VPS like the others have said too.

uhm I'll try to build a minecraft server this night! I think that I'll use VNC to setup the server. I'll let you know if I'll success

It would be nice if you add some pics, it looks kind of boring, using bbcodes would work also, like making things cursive etc.
But overall it's a nice tutorial that I'll need in the future, I bookmarked it just in case.

if you need information, the visual appeal is useless.
